An original landscape painting of a the sun rising over a slow-moving Vermont river

PAINTINGS OF VERMONT

Sunrise on Still Water

Pause for a moment with this painting and watch the sun rise over the slow-moving waters of a Vermont river. A calm, reflective pool rests before us, its glassy surface mirroring the morning sky and the dense trees lining the riverbank. Warm golden light settles on the river rocks, while deeper shadows along the banks create contrast and depth. Breathe, and find stillness in this quiet scene - an invitation to begin each day with calm and clarity.
