This was painted en plein air at a cattle ranch in rural Steelville Missouri. I was fortunate to stay at this ranch and woke up at 4:30 to drink a cup of coffee and catch the morning sunrise, only to realize that this was worth skipping my coffee for. The mist coming over the hills is courtesy of the Meramec River, which runs through this ranch, and the purples and pinks that emerged right before the sun broke through were my inspiration.
