Belle Isle Dawn

    Oil on Canvas  30"x40"    $350 + s&h
    

I painted this one after taking a series of predawn trips to Belle Isle and trying to capture through sketch, memory, notation, and photograph, the mood and atmosphere of watching the sunrise on those cool, spring mornings.  I'd go back to my apartment/studio and flesh out everything afterwards. 
     Motivation? Well after living in Richmond for seven years, it was time to finally do a Richmond painting.  It seems I'd paint anything but what was around me.  This was to be my formal, artistic embrace of my "new" home.
