More information about this landscape oil painting below.

Dawn and her husband Juel are often out at sunrise, walking to gather the horses for the day's riding. Dawn usually has to walk for several miles to find the horses as they graze among the Cedar Breaks.

She made numerous sketches of this view before she painted this large canvas. The scene includes the valley hay meadows, with wild grasses, rabbit brush, purple bee-plant, old cottonwoods and willow shrubs in the foreground. Behind the boulder-tumbled Cedar Breaks rise the northern-most peaks of the Snowy Range, with its awe-inspiring Elk Mountain enveloped in morning clouds. A first touch of frost has brought hints of coming autumn to the land.
