Morning Sun

Quite often the best light for painting in England are those 2-3 hours after sunrise. The air is clean, the colours vivid and the shapes of light and shadow are very interesting. After that a blanket of shapeless, milky clouds usually covers the sky and the light changes dramatically from crisp to softer and pearly. These brief hours in the morning are perfect to paint the buildings, especially made of light stone.
