Big Cedar early a.m.

I painted this from a photo I took at Big Cedar in Missouri last fall. My husband and I were coming from our cabin, going to breakfast and the morning light was so beautiful. The hazy blue over the Ozark hills and the light streaming over the treetops, onto the road was breathtaking. Pictures and paintings just can't do Mother Nature justice. It was such a beautiful week to be out painting. My painter friends were painting all over the place and it was so exciting. I am looking forward to the paintout next year also. This is an 8x10 oil.
