Morning Light

Two more experiments 
(in pastel) 
of light filtering through trees.

This first is taken from a sketch based on an early morning walk.

In this detail 
you can see why I like pastel. 
It's very effective in trying to capture
 ...atmosphere.

If you watch a sunrise  (here in Southern Ontario) 
at certain times of the year (spring and fall)
you will often see the sky 
change from a dark, clear, night sky 
to one with a variety of soft, cool /warm variations.

As the sun rises and warms the air
 clouds forms high in the sky
while mists and fog form close to the ground
disappearing as quickly as they appear.
