Hemera

Original acrylic on canvas, 100 x 85 cm. Hemera sits in a still moment of early light. Her body is built from countless circles of deep cobalt, each one a small pool of water catching the day as it rises, while behind her the ground melts from soft gold into pale cream like the first hour of morning over the sea. There is no drama here, only presence. The turn of her shoulder, the quiet tilt of her head, the long line of her arm resting into the light. She belongs to the Daughters of the Sea, born of water and warmth, holding the calm that arrives just before the world wakes.
