Sunrise challenge--watercolor

Oklahoma Sunrise, 5 by 7, 300 Lb. d-Arches
"I'll meet you in the morning by the bright riverside...." --Gospel song
The Oklahoma sky was golden at 6:30 this morning, and it reminded me of this song. I first heard this song at the funeral of a dear friend, Jack Rodolph, years ago, at Temple, Oklahoma.
 As I prepared for day 5 of #WorldWatercolorMonth.com daily challenge, it seemed to fit my life and the world,  and all that was needed was metaphorical aging shack, silhouetted against  the hope of a new day.

Palette--Ultamarine blue, Aureolin yellow, Cad orange, Burnt umber, Alizerin Crimson
