I’ve just finished a new watercolor called Early Rise. It’s a small piece, only 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches, matted to 5 by 5. The painting captures a quiet morning landscape where a tall tree stands firmly on the left, its deep greens and browns contrasting with soft purples and pinks that suggest distant hills. On the right, warm beige and yellow tones open into a field, offering a sense of calm and openness. I was inspired by the gentle colors of the sunrise here in the up country, wanting to reflect that moment of stillness and renewal. The delicate brushstrokes move softly across the paper, inviting a pause that feels both intimate and expansive.
