Dawn's First Light

I have been working back and forth from my field studies and reference photos with both oil and pastel. My trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula inspired this painting from a series of photos taken along the shore of Lake Superior during sunrise. I was taken by this immense White Pine, just kissed by the warm light of the rising sun against the serene calm of the water and sky.
