Type: ACEO** Art Card (2.5 x 3.5 inches)
Medium: Watercolor

I opened my eyes from a long slumber to find the room still dark. I gaze out the bay window forgetting to look at the clock. I notice just a hint of color lying low on the horizon. It is a faint, pink color which grows deeper with each passing minute. The pink hues rapidly change to orange. The orange is dark and deep, but begins to lighten as the minutes pass. The upper sky has transformed itself from a dull black to a bright blue. The orange glow now contains yellow and crimson, and the sky looks as if it is on fire! The warm glow of the rising sun carries with it the hope of a new day!

The inspiration for this painting looks at me every clear morning from my bedroom window. The scene in this painting is imaginary, but the colors are not! The winter sunrise in my part of the country is a beautiful sight to behold!
