Sunrise Stretch

About the Painting

Sunrise Stretch captures a peaceful moment of a young kangaroo waking up with the first light of morning.
I painted the warm golden tones and cool forest shadows to show the gentle balance between calm awakening and the quiet energy of a new day.

Backstory

Kangaroos often stretch like this when they rise — a soft, natural movement filled with curiosity and comfort.
This painting was inspired by the simple beauty of that moment: the warmth of the sun touching the fur, the long shadow behind, and the sense of serenity that fills the early morning bush.
