Sunrays at Sunrise captures the quiet magic of first light filtering through a single central tree on Wimbledon Common. Layered oil paint and gold leaf are built up gradually across the surface, with white gold leaf at the heart of the composition, suggesting the moment the sun breaks through the foliage.
Inspired by early morning walks on the Common, the scene marks the beginning of a familiar route — from Windmill Car Park across the golf course — as dawn light spills through the trees. For me, it represents shared friendship, gentle conversation, and the simple joy of welcoming a new day immersed in nature.
