Burst of Light (Sunrise at Daytona Beach)

Oil on Canvas, 12 x 16 inches. My friend went on a trip to Daytona Beach last week and every morning he would send me a picture of the sunrise. So I decided I'd paint one of the pictures he sent me. Obviously I made some changes in color and such, but I wanted to emphasize the light and it's movement into a new day. The rays of light chasing away the darker shades of blue making room for the light of the new day to take over. I enjoyed this one a lot and am pretty proud of it.
