Sunrise in the Peak District Oil

This oil painting captures a quiet sunrise over the Peak District, where soft morning light gradually fills the landscape. The warm glow of the rising sun spreads across the sky, shifting from golden yellow to gentle orange, while layers of hills fade into the distance. The mist resting in the valley creates a sense of calm and stillness, softening the forms of trees and fields and giving the scene a dreamlike atmosphere.
The painting reflects the peacefulness of early morning in the countryside. The strong orange and pink colours that very soon will transitions to daylight suggest not just the view itself, but the experience of standing there, watching the mist slowly lift as the day begins.
