A WONDERFUL START


A RISING SUN

4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
It was early morning, the air was calm and the colors 

were dusky, as I peered out the window. 

Instantly the sky became illuminated with a flash

as the bold, brazen sun arose.

    Exciting, edgy, dramatic with a hint of early morning gentleness portrayed with the subtle pale green and yellow. Another beauty.
