Morning Passage

This original watercolor, painted on large-format paper, captures a fleeting moment on Horn Pond. Two swan cygnets glide across the misty autumn lagoon, their wings caught mid-stroke as they skim the surface in a dance of motion and reflection. Warm golden and sienna hues wash over the scene, echoing the season's quiet glow. To the left, a familiar tree anchors the composition, framing the tranquil waters against the distant backdrop of the causeway--where the gentle hustle of daily life unfolds in soft silhouette. A piece that balances serenity with subtle energy, inviting the viewer into a morning both still and alive.
