"The Touch of the Sun" - Dolomiti - Dolomites

Title: "The touch of the Sun"

Composition:
The painting is dominated by a sweeping vista of the Dolomites, with the mountains rising majestically in the distance. We can see also a closer glacier. The mountains are shrouded in a delicate veil of mist, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. As the sun begins to rise, its pink golden rays illuminating the peaks and casting shadows across the valleys.

Color Palette:
The  color palette aims to evoke a sense of tranquility
The color palette is soft and muted, with shades of gray/purple, carminum red, light blue, and many different shadows of "green" for the trees that as well receive the first ray of sun on the top. The mist is rendered in delicate washes of blue pink green and white, creating a sense of haziness and ethereality. The rising sun is fare out of the scene.

Texture:
The texture of the painting is varied, with smooth washes of color for the mist, and far trees, and bolder on the mountains where I used a particular technique to highlight the rocky appearance of the mountains, inspired by the Pale di San Martino Dolomiti group, and delicate details for the other fare mountains and for the trees.

The painting aim to evoke a sense of awe and wonder at the beauty of the Dolomites. The combination of the misty atmosphere, the majestic mountains, and the forest creates a sense of tranquility and serenity. The painting is intended to be also a tribute to the beauty of the natural world and the power of nature to inspire us and to calm our soul.

The viewer could feel a sense of connection to nature, and a sense of awe at the beauty of the scene.
