...Silver Morning...oil on canvas - 9" x 12"
I have been invited to take part in an exhibit, Carnegie Painted, hosted by 3rd Street Gallery in Carnegie, Pa. So, I went to Carnegie with Monica, an artist friend, to see what the town looked like. It was one of those misty mornings, and the sun was just starting to burn off the haze. I liked the silvery light shining off the rooftops.
Having grown up in the mountains, I know there is a comforting feeling of being nestled in among the hills, almost like being wrapped in a soft blanket. Their undulations protect you from the extremes of wind, snow, and sun. I lived for awhile on the plains, and it felt exposed, raw, but also expansive, and the sky was huge!
I really tried with this photograph, but can't get the colors to match the painting... Hope it doesn't look too bad on your monitor.

Congratulations on the exhibition invitation. This is wonderful, you really captured that soft misty feeling.
