Description:

"Captured at the break of dawn on location at Possum Kingdom Lake, Texas, this abstract realism painting embodies the serene beauty of the sunrise over the water. Utilizing a harmonious blend of inks for foundational textures, along with deliberate mark-making, acrylic washes, and oil highlights, I sought to encapsulate the unique atmosphere of the area. The initial on-site inspiration was further refined with final highlights and mark-making techniques back in the studio, ensuring that every element of the painting vividly conveys the tranquil yet dynamic essence of the lakeside at sunrise."
