Sunrise

One of my four titles in my art project was the sunset.  The sunset is often associated with death as Turner and many other artists imply.  Just because I saw a beautiful sunset, I was going to use it as one of the themes, but I decided to try the sunrise instead as it implies the beginning of new life.  One of the art students suggested I use the ocean since I crossed it to come to the States.  I have seen both the sunrise and the sunset from the plane many times, but since my topic is "Big Sky" in the States seen from the ground, I decided to search an image of the sunrise at the Mississippi; I have crossed it many times.  This weekend I am working on this sunrise, and hopefully it will turn out as I hope.
