Misty Morning Sunrise

Landscape 'Misty Morning Sunrise'

I thought I couldn't do this one. Nothing to see but fog.

And then the Sun DID show its face. Wow. In a hurry I tried to paint it, the fog being the most difficult to portray. Having the horizon in, just about enough.

If you want to also find these special moments in the morning, it's advised you go there multiple times, over and over. The winter is easier for this: you don't have to get up at 5 now to be there before the sun rises :)

Yes, mittens needed, at least it is in the colder 'Winter parts' of this world. :)

Many people on social say 'brrrr' which is funny, dress warm and you'll be alright. For the whole Winter, and long into Spring, I wear thermo-wear every day. My muscles never cramp up.

Oh, it's so worth it, being there, starting the morning with a painting.

With this photograph of the scene, you can see and realize how our eyes see so much more, compared to a camera.

The yellow and reds, the natural greys, so hard for a camera to capture.

All the more reason to paint it!
