Morning Glow in Denia, crafted by Jeanne M. Connolly, is a poetic depiction of the serene dawn in Denia, Spain. This mixed media piece beautifully captures the magical moment when the first light of day bathes the streets in a golden hue.
The artwork features the Chinese Hibiscus, a symbol of delicate beauty and strength, portrayed in vibrant shades of red and pink. The use of permanent ink, applied to create a watercolor effect, lends an ethereal and fluid quality to depicting the Hibiscus. This technique creates a captivating, soft, and dynamic visual, echoing the flower's natural elegance as it seems to awaken alongside the town.
Vintage fabric patches are woven into the canvas, adding depth and historical resonance to the artwork. These patches, reminiscent of Denia's historic tapestries, provide a rich texture and a tangible connection to the town's cultural heritage. Combining fabric and ink techniques creates a layered, visually stunning, and significant effect.
'Resplandor Matutino en Denia' is a distinguished work within the 'Chinese Hibiscus on Canvas' limited series. This piece is a testament to the harmony of mixed media art, embodying the allure of Spanish flora, embroidery wall art, and the innovative use of ink to mimic watercolor.
Currently available, this artwork is not merely a scene depiction but an immersive experience. It invites viewers to step into the tranquil beauty of a Denia morning, feeling the awakening of the town as it is enveloped in the gentle embrace of dawn's first light.
