When I picture a sunset in Vermont in the fall I imagine people standing near a lake on the edge of the forest. The sky is a mix of pinks, blues, and purples, with a heavy accent of oranges. I wanted to try to keep all of those colors in the design but have them mix coherently.

I have never attended a church service during Easter but when I hear Gothic Cathedral I immediately picture the Hunchback of Notre Dame.  I wanted to depict someone standing by the window looking out as they bask in the rising sun before the church fills with worshippers.

I wanted this image to be someone swimming in the ocean under the intense sun. Noon is when the sun is at its highest point so it would be extremely bright. I wanted to incorporate that bright yellow and then give ocean vibes on the stage floor.

I wanted to capture the green grass that is usually still seen but covered in a blue frost. When I picture that it is about to snow the sky is usually a light grey with a hint of lavender, I wanted my model to be standing underneath the pale setting sun and everything seemingly quiet.
