Sun Burst, 9x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
With Sun Burst, Henderson harnesses the instant dawn breaks open the horizon. She pours a molten core of cadmium yellow mixed with interference gold, then strikes outward with a palette knife, dragging spokes of color through wet quinacridone orange and soft paprika. The rapid gesture freezes centrifugal rays, each edged by microscopic cells that sparkle like dust motes caught in sudden light.
Despite its explosive center, the painting maintains balance through subtle counterweights: along the outer edges, cool peach and faint blush temper the heat, allowing the eye a place to rest before being drawn back to the radiant hub. The composition thus mirrors the sun’s own paradox—overwhelming brilliance framed by gentle dawn. Viewers often feel warmed, even energized, as if the canvas itself emits a quiet, renewing heat.
