Sunrise ...what to paint part 02

Sharbot Lake sunrise  - pastel - Leslie Snider
A few days ago I presented a few photos... 
all potentially good subjects for painting.

The first picture was complete in itself,
and I suspect no painting 
could improve on that moment.

The second and fourth,
definite possibilities for the future.....
but it was the opportunity
 to play with subtle colour
that inspired me to tackle the 3rd. 

I simplified the composition
 in order to emphasize
 the airiness of the clouds. 

If you have observed the rising sun 
you know how fleeting and illusive the light can be!
