Wachapreague sunrises are marvelous in their complexities. The tide influences wether or not you see the waterways and of course the cloud cover creates various moods. These large paintings come out of having spent so much time painting as the sun is rising. I have used the smaller paintings done on location to create larger, moodier pieces.
One morning in February while driving my son to interview at a college in Richmond I observed the full moon setting ever lower in the sky. When we reached the Chesapeake Bay bridge/tunnel it was just at the horizon. Luckily I had may camera and stood for a long while studying the mood. With the images and recollection this is what I came up with. SOLD
