Morning Sail

“Morning Sail” captures the freshness and possibility of a new day. Soft pinks, warm creams, and golden tones mingle with turquoise and deep blue, suggesting morning light, reflections, and sails moving in a gentle breeze. Vertical lines evoke masts, while sweeping marks across the lower canvas create the rhythm of water.

I build the painting through layers of color, scraping and mark-making, allowing spontaneous passages to emerge alongside deliberate lines and shapes. The surface holds traces of that process, inviting a closer look.

One of my favorite abstracts, “Morning Sail” brings together a sense of calm and the excitement of setting out. I hope it evokes freedom, optimism, and the simple pleasure of a beautiful day.
