Morning Lights

I liked the last sunrise and the spot I chose for painting so I thought it was worth going back to the same spot and doing another with a slightly different view. The weather conditions were similar, the lack of wind,  quantity of clouds and so forth so I went for it. Here's the resulting picture from this second trip. When I get there, the lights in the distance are usually still on, people getting up early for work in the morning darkness, car headlights travelling up roads, distant traffic signals seen through the trees. By the time I am halfway through the painting and the sun is starting to come up, the lights go out one by one. So I called it Morning Lights, 9 x 12.
