Description

"First Light Over Paradise" isn’t just a painting – it’s a feeling.
Picture this: you’re standing at the edge of the Bay of Islands as the sun breaks the horizon. The sky explodes into colour, the waves catch the light, and suddenly… the world feels full of promise.

That’s exactly where I was when this moment grabbed me by the heart and said, ‘You have to paint this.’ The golden glow, the shifting blues and pinks, the pure energy of a new day – it’s all here on canvas.

This piece isn’t just art for your wall – it’s that morning hug, that high five from nature, captured forever. If you’re ready for a daily reminder that life is beautiful and full of possibility, this painting was made for you.

Whether you hang it in a living room, bedroom, or workspace, this piece transforms your wall into a daily escape to the shore.
