The Sun is Rising (Framed in Oak)

64cm (W) x 49cm (H) x 4cm (D)
Oil on Wooden Panel

Artwork unavailable

Artist:
Mina Afra

Oil on 9mm AA grade marine plywood panel, sealed with premium quality varnish for protection. Framed in Tasmanian Oak, floating style frame, ready to hang. This painting is inspired by a lookout in the North of Iran, during a recent travel. As the sun’s orange glow spread over the cliffs and vegetation it reminded me of a poem by Greta Zwaan: 'The sun begins to scatter the clouds that claimed the night,
The glowing lights of colour make darkness take its flight.
At first there’s but a glimmer as colour finds its way
And then great bursts of sunshine announce a brand-new day.

The harmony of colours dance in the morning mist,
They’re orange, they’re red, they’re yellow; what colours they enlist!
They touch and mould together, they snap as they join hands,
The music is ethereal and then they break their bands.' An original one-off painting. Signed on the back. Comes with a certificate of authenticity
