Sunrise from Black Cat

Sunrise from Black Cat - Original Pastel

After a busy summer, I am finally able to get back out and do some plein air painting.  I am fortunate to have a friend who lives on Black Cat Island on Lake Winnipesaukee in Moultonboro, NH.  I spent the night and was up at the crack of dawn.  The morning was foggy and misty but the sun was trying to peek through. This land formation is rarely visible with this clarity as it blends in to the land masses behind it. On this morning the back land was obscured by the mist and fog and created a glorious back drop for these wonderful little islands. I was able to do a number of small paintings of the different views of Lake Winnipesaukee as the sun rose.
