Discussions with Mark Norseth

This is a piece I started just before the Labor Day weekend.  I had three sessions outdoors and one in the studio, with a lot of work on other paintings in between.  It’s been documented in several steps, so I plan to post it as a demonstration piece on the website when I get the time.  

Frame is on the way, I have some finish work to do on it.

Here’s the setup on morning #1.  The light effect, pre-dawn on the edge of sunrise,  pretty much runs it’s course in minutes, so I had to establish the effect, just a touch of sunlight, and restrain myself  all  the way through.

It’s a pleasure to be working at this time of day;  I should do it more often.
