7" x 5" - This was done after the sun had already risen, but still morning time. It wasn't the most interesting subject, but I had all my paints and easel out already from the previous painting. And, painting anything is better than not painting at all, if only for the practice.
This was made right after the painting below.
12" x 9" They weren't kidding, that sun rises FAST. This is actually a bit of mix of moments that were caught as the light was changing. It's crazy how much the colors and values change within just a 20 minute period. It was a mistake using this larger size for the painting. I had no 10" x 8"s left so I went with this, but I should have used the 7" x 5".
10" x 8" - Made right after finishing the painting below, facing the opposite direction.
8" x 10" - This was the first sunrise painting I've ever done. While painting it I was in the middle of a dirt drive way, looking the through a fence gate. Halfway into the painting, a truck honked at me to move, which I had to - so that obviously changed the view from which I was originally working. It didn't matter much though.
As it turned out, the truck driver didn't drive on through at that point, as he later told me he wanted to give me some more time to paint. If I only I had known, then I wouldn't have moved right away. Nice guy though.
