Marathon Painting #85

Sunrise with Christmas Lights

Im really happy with how this turned out. Originally I had some concern about whether the light in the sky would compete with the lights on the tree,  and I wondered if the tree lights would even show up legibly unless the sky were really dark. I think since the xmas lights were against a dark tree it gave them just the right amount of pop without taking away from the much stronger sunrise.
