MT HOOD DAWN

Mt. Hood Dawn
Oil on Panel, 16 x 12

What is it about morning light?  There is a fine mist in the valley, and the rising sun glistens on the Sandy River.  It's a day for visitors.  Several people stop by and watch us paint.  Another artist stops by and shares her portfolio.  Walkers, joggers, even people having breakfast in transit.  All of them leave us in just a few minutes.  Painting is such a great way to spend more time, really experiencing a place.
