Colours are affected by climate/ position....I couldn't understand why some paintings I thought were sunrises were actually sunsets. They after look the same and the position of the sun could be the same in a sunrise as a sunset.....so, during the day the sun heats up the air leading to more air movement leading to the air picking up more particulates eg dust, smoke. It also leads to water evaporation and there is more pollution from us in the day. All this in the sky leads to the colours in the sunset being seen in a more diffused way. During the night the air is cleaner and calmer so, at dawn there are less particulates in the air. The colours are clearer. Add into this is our eyes. At night time, our eyes are, ' daylight eyes,' they let in less light because it is light. With the sunrise, our eyes are in, ' night eyes mode ,' so let in more light because it's needed. So the sunrise or morning sky seems different. Phew ! Interesting though.....as is moving in and out of Nocturnes and Matins ( morning paintings )
Artists whose work I think has a feeling of morning/ sunrise.

I didn't like the paintings I did with morning in mind ! Try again !
My morning light mainly has no colour at all ! Try greying out some work see if that works....try selecting Dailies to see if honey have a feeling of morning. Mmm ...that might work....put colour over graphite.
