Golden Sunrise (Mini-Painting as of October 13, 2013)

Golden Sunrise (Mini-Painting as of October 13, 2013), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is another mini-painting that I started after I finished working on my painting of red leaves (posted here yesterday). A few months ago, I bought a bunch of miniature canvases that are 3 inches square. At the end of a painting session, I spend a few minutes on one of these tiny paintings. It's fun, relaxing, and a good way to use leftover paint that would otherwise go to waste. Yesterday I was adding yellow and orange tones to my painting of red leaves, so I decided to do a little painting of a sunrise. I started with the sky, and then used a few strokes to suggest reflections in the water. To be continued. . . .
