MT SHASTA MISTY MORNING

I’m endlessly drawn to these moments at dawn, when light offers just enough to orient us—an outline, an edge, a glimmer—before moving on. The rising sun traced the clouds with a pale glow, illuminating their edges from behind. It’s easy to see how the idea of a silver lining was born from scenes like this.

This painting is less about depicting the mountain in full clarity and more about honoring that in-between state—where form emerges, recedes, and reappears. A quiet reminder that presence doesn’t always announce itself boldly. Sometimes it arrives softly, revealed in moments of emergence.
