This original contemporary oil painting on canvas was painted in my New Jersey studio. Titled "Before Sunrise," this composition captures the quiet, dramatic transition of morning light. I chose to feature a structured yellow ceramic pitcher alongside a clear glass bottle that catches the subtle reflections of dawn, balanced by fresh oranges resting on a patterned textile. Each of these pieces hold memories and moments that come to life as I paint. I worked on Working on this piece using bold, expressive linework and a rich, color-forward palette to balance a modern graphic sensibility with classic Post-Impressionist warmth. An investment of time, attention and feeling go into every painting. I hope this piece carries a similar sense of warmth and artistic connection into your kitchen, dining room, or gallery wall. The painting is unframed and ready for you to style.
