This painting is one in a series of works that I have planned. The viewpoint is looking east across a nearby marsh and will focus on the quality of the early morning light from sunrise until around mid-day. This particular scene is around 11:00 or so with the sun behind higher clouds that are slowly breaking up. I'm hoping to capture a particular mood in each of these paintings with the receding marsh grasses and reeds being of a secondary importance. The marsh is only short drive away so I can be there at just about any time of the day, quickly set up my painting equipment and capture whatever the day has to offer. This oil on canvas is 12 x 9 inches (30 x 23 cm).
