Watching the sun rise over San Giorgio Maggiore, with the famous gondolas gently swaying in the morning light, never fails to take my breath away.

I have spent countless early mornings sketching on location, listening to the soothing rhythm of boats rocking with the tide.

This painting is my attempt to translate that quiet beauty — the stillness in motion, the light, the sound — into something that stays with you.
