Description
Way back in 1992 I was on my way from Tucson to do an art show in Scottsdale Arizona. I was just outside the town of Toltec when I realized that there was gonna be a gorgeous sunrise. So I stopped at a Circle K and bought some film for my trusty Pentax 35 mm camera and took several pictures that would provide reference to one of my most favorite sunrise paintings I have ever done. I chose a panoramic 24 inch by 48 inch canvas, put on some music and tried my best to capture the subtle layers of early morning clouds. Since the clouds played the leading role, I decided to place an Arizona lake in the mid-ground and saguaro silhouettes in the foreground, in order to focus all the attention on the clouds. Sunrise and sunsets can create spectacular moments in time. This is my attempt to capture and share such a moment!

That is absolutely spectacular. I love the mood -- sort of a sense of mystery... it's gorgeous. L/F

Oh wow, Jerry! This atmospheric glow you have somehow wonderfully painted is among my favorite effects in nature. The muted tones in the sunrise really focus the attention to the peaks and Apache Lake and the dark saguaro silhouettes are just perfectly done. Awesome!!

Your cloud work is amazing in this painting, overall a very inspiring piece. Very beautiful and moving. It may be an oldie to you, but to me it is more than a "goodie"!
