The mist rises between the gentle slopes, up the shoulders from secret valleys. The sun isn't even up yet, but the gold in the fields promises another hot afternoon. In the mean time, with the muted colors and shadows shifting, you can forgive the sun her tardiness and enjoy the mist as it rises. This is exactly how it looked out my window, not stylized, just muted by the light. Enjoy the summer mornings as they come. This painting comes in an antique 18 x 18 frame, on board, not a canvas, and the two cannot be separated.
