Soft morning light settles over the St. John River as the valley begins to stir. The water moves quietly, reflecting the muted greens and low sky, holding onto that brief stillness before the day fully takes shape. There's a calm here that feels familiar - like the kind of morning where everything slows down just enough to notice it.
This piece was inspired by an early morning along the St. John, where the light is gentle, the air is still, and the landscape feels almost untouched. It's a reminder of how steady and grounding these places can be, even in their quietest moments.
