Oil on panel

I couldn’t help myself—I climbed right up on one of the rocks like a little kid, painting with my canvas in my lap while the morning light shimmered across the water. This coastal spot in Connecticut has completely captured my heart, and I wanted to experience it up close and personal.

What drew me in this time was how the soft light illuminated the edges of the rocks and danced gently across the waves. It was quiet, radiant, and alive.

If you’ve ever felt drawn to the sea, to the simple joy of being immersed in nature, this plein air piece captures that intimate moment of awe and closeness.

An original oil painting of a landscape, painted en plein air, in a traditional style.
