Come Awake – Original Artwork

Come Awake is an oil on canvas painting (79cm x 54cm, framed) that welcomes the quiet holiness of dawn over Manly. In this luminous seascape the first light rises, soft and spiritual, inviting a new day and a deep breath of calm. Layered brushwork and gentle glazing create atmospheric depth as the clouds begin to glow and the water opens into light, capturing that fragile moment when night yields to morning.

The composition leads the eye from the shoreline into a widening sky, balancing warm blush tones with cool coastal blues. Subtle texture in the paint suggests moving air and the hush that comes just before the sun appears. Up close, impasto details reveal the artist’s hand; from across the room the painting reads as a serene focal point that brightens living rooms, bedrooms, and contemplative corners.

Framed professionally and ready to hang, the work is signed on the reverse and varnished for protection. The Come Awake offers collectors a meditative statement piece—quiet, uplifting, and timeless. For interiors seeking a sense of renewal, the Come Awake pairs beautifully with other coastal works while standing confidently on its own as a daily reminder to pause, look up, and welcome the light.
