“Quietly Morning” captures the stillness and anticipation of an early paddle.  As the fog slowly lifts and the island emerges from the muted landscape, the water becomes a mirror — calm, reflective, and almost timeless. The subdued palette and softened forms evoke the hush of dawn and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. It is a fleeting moment of peace and solitude, one I wait for and return to year after year.
