Gouache on warm tan paper, painted en plein air

I was captivated by the soft, muted light as the sun tried to peek through an overcast morning sky when I painted Sunrise Veiled in Clouds. The subtle warmth pushing through gray clouds felt fleeting and precious—exactly why I love painting en plein air. Using gouache let me capture that transient color and delicate glow while keeping the brushwork lively and spontaneous. This piece is my memory of a quiet morning, where the world feels hushed, soft, and full of possibilities.
