I liked the smaller version of this scene so much I knew I had to paint a larger one as well. Something about early morning sunlight is so invigorating, I think it's my favorite time of day.
This was the view from on of the upstairs windows at Grandma's house in South Dakota. I loved how green and summery it was, and how the sun was shining on those bright white buildings.
I loved this view so much when were driving past it that I made poor Zach drive us all the way back to the house to get my camera. It was worth it though, those pictures turned out to be the best ones. I love the long shadows created when the sun is setting.
