Morning at the Glasshouse Mtns. Maleny. Qld

I love the early morning light over the Glasshouse Mtns up in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. This is my go to place if iam looking for inspiration and on this morning it never let me down. I loved how the orange in the sky lit up the blue of the mountains. Also the yellow of the grass in the foreground was a beautiful colour. This would look great in any room in a beautiful frame to compliment the colours in the painting. This was painted in oils on plywood on location.
