Red Sunrise

'Red Sunrise,' by Anthony Steyn, Acrylic on Canvas Board Painting

This framed 17.25" x 22.5" acrylic on canvas board painting created in 2021 by Anthony Steyn is the artist's depiction of the red sunrise and the hazy sky over rolling hills in Zulu Natal, South Africa. The small delicate brush strokes throughout this work enhance the soft and hazy evening sky behind the yellow moon that hang low in the red horizon.

Anthony Steyn is a self-taught artist who grew up in South Africa during the apartheid era, drawing upon memories of his childhood to strengthen this connection to his homeland. He explores these ideas in adulthood through his art. Previously living in Dublin, Ireland, he is currently based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
