Purple Dawn


The colors at dawn a week or so ago were unusually intense. The low-rising sun shone on the budding trees, turning them glowing orange, with brilliant purple clouds above. The effect only lasted a minute or two, as the clouds passed in front of the sun and extinguished the fiery colors. This study was done from memory but I did see the scene as I retired to my owl's den to hide.

Colored pencils, markers, and ink on sketchbook page, finished in Photoshop, about 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", April 22, 2018.
