This latest sunrise pastel
went through some small
but important tweaks.

I was interested in capturing
the colour range from warm to cool
as the sun rose behind a strong line of trees.
The slowly rising sun created
subtle effects on the marsh and water.
But having finished this piece
and hanging it in the studio,
I continued to study it daily.
(This is a good practice as over time
you see your art with fresh eyes.)

Although I liked the effects of light
I found the line of trees
too uniform in size, shape and colour.
More variation was needed
to incorporate the trees
into the composition.
Otherwise the trees become the focal point.
I also heightened the warm colours
to emphasize the light.
