Dawn is a 3 by 4 inch oil painting that captures the restless energy of the ocean meeting rugged cliffs. The waves surge with a blend of blues and whites that suggest constant motion, while the earthy tones of the rocky shore offer a stable counterpoint on the left side of the composition. Above, the sky moves through warm yellows into soft purples, marking the subtle shift of early light. This piece grew from my visits to the islands, where the dynamic interaction of sea, rock, and sky has a particular rhythm and presence I wanted to explore in a compact, focused study.
