Mount Baker from Steveston Spring 2006

I decided one morning to finally paint this view of Mount Baker, from the South Arm of the Fraser river. Mount Baker, especially in the morning when the sun has just risen, will cast a pinkish glow.
The reddish sunrise reflected in the clouds, sky, and down upon that snowy extinct volcano, will create some of the most beautiful mornings in spring. Just looking at our Coast Range mountains to the distant Cascade Range ones; I'm sure many people living on the West Coast have used those different mountain ranges to orientate themselves while travelling around.
