A quiet study in light and stillness, this painting captures the soft shimmer of water touched by early morning light. Hazy reflections stretch across the surface, gently diffused and luminous, evoking a sense of spaciousness and calm.

Built up in translucent layers of oil, the image holds depth and movement while remaining serene and grounded. A contemplative piece that invites the viewer to linger—to exhale—and to find beauty in simplicity.

This painting is part of an ongoing exploration of natural light and fluidity, reflecting a meditative attention to the everyday poetry of water and its movements.

A Note from Laura

This painting began with a feeling—the way light filters through early morning air and lands softly on the surface of still water.

I was chasing that sense of quiet awe, where time seems to pause and everything feels just a little more luminous. With each layer, I worked to preserve that delicate balance between calm and radiance.

My hope is that this piece brings that same stillness and clarity into your space—like standing at the edge of something vast.
