Sunrise on Pike's Peak (Inspiration for Painting)



This is a photo that I took during a quick trip to Colorado, during the fall of 2005, I believe.  I visited friends in Colorado Springs, and stayed over. This was the view from their spare bedroom in the morning.  Although those aspen trees were lovely, I really wanted to take a picture of the sunrise on those mountains in the distance.  This photo was the result, and the best I could do. Even though it isn't a good photo,  I am glad I took the picture anyway because I recently decided to use it as the inspiration for a painting.  I decided to try to paint that sunrise, but it would take some work on the computer to turn this into a painting reference.  To be continued. . . .
