Morning Ritual 24 x 24

Inspired by early morning training sessions as a ski instructor at Lake Louise, Morning Briefing captures the quiet moments before the mountain comes to life. Viewed from Deer Run with Temple Mountain standing beyond, the scene reflects the stillness of a fresh winter morning, when the snow is untouched, the air is crisp, and the only sounds are the lift overhead and skis carving the first lines of the day.
Created on a 24 × 24 inch diamond-shaped panel, the unique orientation draws the eye naturally through the landscape, offering a fresh perspective on one of the Canadian Rockies' most iconic peaks. Intricate wood burning paired with bold acrylic gouache highlights the contrast between the warm morning light, the cool alpine shadows, and the expansive winter sky.
Inspired by those peaceful moments before the ski hill fills with people, Morning Briefing celebrates the calm, anticipation, and beauty of the mountains at the start of a new day.
