Morning Light

Morning Light, Oil on Canvas, 16 x 20 inches, Available

Living in Hualien we get a lot of rain.  For some reason mornings seem to be sunny and by the afternoon the clouds build up off the mountains which usually brings the rain.  I don't know much about weather but I think it probably has to do with the moisture from the ocean and pressure changes through the day.  I painted this after a nice morning motorcycle ride. The sunrise colors along with the light and fog on the mountains really attracted me to this scene.  Which made me stop and do a quick study along with snapping some photos. Taiwan's countryside really reminds me of Hawaii.
