Early Light

The moment just before the morning sun shines directly through the forest is what I wanted to capture in this painting. If you time your hike early enough you can catch this thoughtful moment of quiet in the forest.

This painting shows the dimly lit trees and forest floor with branches and ferns just before the sun shines through.

This painting is part of the 'Time to Explore' collection released in June 2022.

Time to Explore collection is a reminder to you to make time to explore nature. More than making just enough time to park at the trail head, start your Strava app and race through a planned route. But time to spend a moment exploring, looking, deviating from the route and taking it in.

"Our encounters with nature can be poignant because they remind us that nature is something we are always meaning to get more interested in, but rarely get around to attending to." ~ Alain de Botton in the book Art as Therapy
