"Dawn - Sunset - After Midnight" is an extraordinary triptych art piece that encompasses the breathtaking beauty of the natural world throughout different times of the day. Composed of three separate panels, each measuring 8" x 10", this mixed media artwork is a visual symphony created using a diverse range of materials.
 
The foundation of this triptych is the delicate and translucent rice paper, which lends an ethereal quality to the composition. Its light and airy texture serves as a canvas for the vibrant colors and captivating textures that unfold across each panel.
 
Acrylic paints are skillfully applied to capture the essence of dawn, sunset, and the enchantment of the midnight hour. With bold brushstrokes and harmonious blends, the acrylics bring to life the changing hues of the sky, from the gentle pastels of daybreak to the fiery oranges and purples of a setting sun, and finally to the deep blues and silvers that illuminate the night.
 
Paper towels, cleverly incorporated into the artwork, add depth and movement to the piece. Their absorbent nature creates a sense of organic flow, contributing to the overall visual narrative and enhancing the transition from one time period to another.
 
The inclusion of shells provides a tactile and sensory experience within the artwork. Symbolizing the coastal environment and the wonders of the sea, they introduce a touch of nature and offer a connection to the elements, inviting viewers to engage with the piece on a more tactile level.
 
Glitter and metallic foil infuse the artwork with a touch of magic and luminescence. As light dances upon their surfaces, these elements add an enchanting shimmer and sparkle, capturing the fleeting moments of brilliance found within each time period.
 
Ink and oil pastels are masterfully employed to add intricate details and delicate textures. Ink brings forth fine lines and subtle patterns, while oil pastels contribute richness and depth, allowing for the creation of expressive marks that amplify the emotional impact of the artwork.
 
"Dawn - Sunset - After Midnight" is a captivating triptych that immerses viewers in the wondrous cycle of a day, inviting them to witness the ever-changing skies and experience the passage of time. Through its harmonious blend of materials, textures, and colors, this artwork evokes a sense of awe and tranquility, offering a moment of respite and reflection in the midst of a bustling world.
