It’s impossible to predict how the landscape will look and what you will
encounter, when you go out plein air painting, you have to be prepared
for anything. Especially the case with sunrises; will there be too much
cloud cover, that you don’t see anything at all?
All you can do is just
turn up prepared, that’s a good attitude to have for lots of things. I
was fortunate in this case that there was some cloud cover to provide
some beautiful some interesting shapes in the sky.
I
even had two friendly horses come over to see what I was doing, sadly I
had no carrots or apples, I offered to paint them a carrot, but they
weren’t impressed by that.
The sun kept me warm, while it was rising,
although it was difficult to paint contre-jour.
Clouds did eventually
cover the sky and what was a beautiful sunrise, illuminating the land
before it, soon was covered in grey clouds and fog; which has its own
appeal.
