"a new day"



"a new day" 9"x12" pastel on Uart 500  $80

We have really hot summers in the south and I usually head out early for my morning walks with my Siberian Husky, Kobi.

I am so thankful for each new day and enjoy these morning walks watching the sunrise. The sky was soft and hazy and I caught a photo of the sun just as it was coming up through the trees.

I decided to do a watercolor underpainting to capture the soft colors of the sky.

I really admire Liz Haywood-Sullivan's sky paintings and mostly used her "sky and water" set of Terry Ludwig Pastels for this painting.
