Morning Haze – Original Acrylic Painting

Morning Haze is an original acrylic painting by Ellen Jean Diederich.

Behind the piece: It just takes a little fog to create a veil of mystery. Distant objects become greyed shapes that fade more and more, the farther they are away. Usually there isn’t much color, until the sun suddenly peaks out, exploding an increasing array of color. Morning Haze was my effort to capture those “seconds in time” of the rising sun, I viewed during my morning walk.

Underneath the canvas, was a failed painting that provided considerable layers of colored texture, exposed beneath the irregular amount of paint that I poured on it.  It was fun to see it become beautiful.  When I first added the house, it looked like a house portrait, but the painting wasn’t about the house.  It was just the perfect shape to block the light.  There were many layers of leaves to be edited.  The mood took over the house when the layers of leaves and the pattern of the darks tree trunks were balanced.

Morning Haze is on stretched 1 1/2″ deep canvas with painted sides.
Framing isn’t necessary but the right frame might make it perfect for your home or office.
