Original oil painting by Tisha Mark.

Ships in 3-5 business days.

When the sun rises, the marsh awakens. To tell the stories of marsh sunrises, I started experimenting with toning my canvases reddish-orange to create a warm feeling that glows through all of the subsequent layers. I apply many subsequent layers of paint, starting with soft, faint brush strokes on the early layers as the composition takes shape from a scene in my imagination or memory. Then I slowly build up textures of paint with my palette knives. Throughout my process, I continue to ask myself what the light is making me feel, to make sure I’m getting the story right.

This painting is part of my Marshlands series.

Please note that I do my best to photograph my artwork as accurately as possible. However, there can be some differences due to lighting, my camera, and variations in how monitors and devices display color.
