Morning Commute

I teach at Rincon Valley Middle School, so I drive down River Road and then turn onto Old Redwood Highway (seen in the painting above) to get to school. I'm usually on this road some time between 6:45 and 7:15 in the morning, and the sunrises are often spectacular. This was my view one morning behind a Sonoma County bus. I don't usually paint sunrises (or sunsets), and I think my lack of experience shows. Will have to paint more of them this year!
