If I am up early enough I love to get to the Pier in Deal and go down onto the shingles so that I can see the sun rise under the pier. To me seeing a red sun under the Pier inspires a feeling of wonder. A good omen for the new day.
My intention with these paintings is to paint the sublime. I've used Turner Yellow in these four paintings pictured below to mimic the effect of the glow over the Goodwin Sands that Turner so admired about Thanet skies.
With the pollution haze all but gone because of the pandemic, I consider this a unique time to capture the true beauty of living on this coast at sunrise.
