Hey here is one that I finished a while ago. It has been a busy summer so I am just getting around to blogging about it. This one is titled "A Swaseys Morn". It was inspired by an early morning walk I took around the Swasey's Beach Boat ramp by Green River Utah. I was out there last April with some dear friends. We were getting ready to paddle the river and I was up early to soak in the beauty and spirit of the place at sunrise. As the sun was just starting to lighten the sky the first rays caught a wispy line of clouds and gave them a touch of pink. I snapped the reference photo quickly because the effect was gone in less than a minute. I like how this one is so cool colored with just a touch or warmth.
I guess I am doing a sunrise series because this one is number 4 and I have several more planned.
This one is Oils on Panel at 10x20". It will be on display at the Scera Center for the Arts in Orem in the Utah Valley Artist Guild's Fall Show through the first week of November. Come check it out!
Here is the photo reference and the GPS coordinates from where I took it. 39.111276, -110.109546
