8"x10" First light catches and everything holds its breath. A pale farmhouse and silver roof sit under a clear blue sky while a single golden tree burns bright behind it, the sun just cresting the horizon. In the foreground, a soft tangle of lavender-blue foliage flickers with mustard-yellow blooms, painted in lively strokes that feel almost windblown. The cool morning air meets warm light at every edge—roofline, field, and leaf—giving the scene that crisp, waking hush before the day fully begins.
