Painting a Red Sunrise

Red Sunrise.

The fun thing about creating these Sunrises is everything depends upon each other:

The time you set the alarm, the time it takes to get out of the house: whether in darkness or in shimmering light, the spot you'll find:

Sometimes the spot is somehow occupied, or otherwise things 'happen'.

Sometimes the 'losses' of some days make for 'Intention' on new days.

So, here I intended to be there REALLY REALLY early. To paint the darkness. It is dark then, setting up. But not always. It depends! :)
