Sunrise 1

a watercolor painting of a sunrise going from orange to deep blue-violet with a silhouette of a tree and three birds

Sunrise 1, 9″x12″ ink and watercolor on paper

I waffled for days about the title to this before hitting on the very simple, easy, descriptive title, lol.

A while ago Shayla Maddox did a whole photo series where she woke up every day at sunrise to photograph it from her Hawaiian home. These were so colorful I got inspired to paint some backgrounds in the same palette and then immediately did nothing with them, oops. I have one other of these, which I actually have a plan for, so hopefully that’ll be April’s finished art piece.

This is a larger painting, as is the second one coming up, so it doesn’t entirely fit on my scanner. I decided to go with scanning what fit rather than trying to piece together multiple scans, so the scanned image is technically a detail shot.

Three Crows 3

Thursday, March 5th, 2026

Three Crows and a winter tree against the first blush of sunrise by Amy Crook

Three Crows 3, 5″x7″ watercolor and brush & ink by Amy Crook

After a long hiatus, I’m working on getting back into a regular art practice along with my writing. This first finished piece is technically part of a series, mostly because I wasn’t feeling original about the title.

I had this background painted already from months ago, but I hadn’t had the motivation to finish it until I did a short mentorship with the wonderful Sarah Lacy, who gave me “finish one work in progress” as homework. The very darkest blue at the top has a subtle sparkle, fading down to a more demure vivianite and then just that first blush of pink and gold as the sun comes up to outshine the moon.

The twisted tree is one of my favorite types to paint, brush and a dark matte india ink really making it stand out from the background along with the titular birds. There’s more focus on the tree than the birds in this painting in the series, but I think that’s okay.

I have another abstract coming soon, as well as a pair of more spectacular sunrises, so keep an eye out! This one’s for sale if you’re inclined, but the point was more to get back into an art practice than to make a sale, if you know what I mean. Contact me if you’re interested, though!
