Sunrise Serenade

A unique fusion of fine art photography and painting !

Sunrise brings a serenade beyond the dark silence of the night. The tender light gently touches the water and the reeds, in a duet with the wind

In recent months, the painter Karina Mosser (USA) and I have been collaborating in various ways in the creation of new artworks. And with this artwork "Sunrise Serenade", we have taken a new path. Karina painted on a print of one of my photographs.

The photo is printed on museum quality Hahnemühle Photo Rag. And on it Karina painted with ink and watercolor.

The buyer of this work will receive it from Karina, signed and with certificate of authenticity.

I made this impressionistic artwork which forms the basis of this work, in March 2019 in south and south east Sweden.

Hundreds of small islands lie off the coast of south-east Sweden.
They usually consist of no more than rocky soil with shrubs and trees, surrounded by a collar of reeds.
And on this beautiful winter day, at sunrise the light plays a serenade on the reeds, accompanied by the wind.
