My inspiration for this came from reading how the star cluster Matariki is best viewed as the sun rises. I have a minor obsession with painting sunrises/sunsets and silhouettes so I quickly came up with the idea of the design.
My vision of the design was very clear, and I worked hard to make this clear.
For the copy above I adjusted the mid-pink colour to a darker red-ish pink, to make a better looking sunrise gradient.
I really love how this came out!
