Imaginair: Sunrise Over a Florida Bridge



As I was driving from my grandparents condo in Orange Beach to the Blue Angels' practice session at the Pensacola Naval Air Museum on base, I saw this lovely sunrise behind an interesting bridge.  I couldn't paint it, because I was behind the wheel at the time.  So I memorized the colors, the lighting, the general composition, and as many of the details as I could, and painted it later.

I enjoy painting many of my artworks.  This one stands out above many of them as being even more enjoyable than normal.
