Mississippi Dawn

featuring paintings by Jeanne Ross

When I was out painting all night in 2014 and 2015 I saw the sunrise over the city and river as I ended my painting days. The beauty of these scenes inspired me to paint at dawn. These paintings have become some of my favorites. I had my phone set to play Lucky Old Sun by Willie Nelson at the moment of sunrise.
