The first painting in a series is always something special — it is where new questions are born. It may sometimes feel raw and unpolished, but that is exactly what makes it authentic.

In this piece, I captured the warmth of a winter day in transition — when autumn no longer feels like autumn, and winter has not yet offered its first snow. It carries a sense of waiting, intertwined with a slow, quiet wonder of simply being present in the moment.

Original 10×10 oil painting inspired by a winter day at Lake Cuyamaca in Julian, California.
