‘Held In Light’ captures the warm hush of evening over Lake Erie with a quiet, reflective intensity. Broad, layered strokes build a low horizon where the shoreline slips into shadow, while the sky blooms in molten golds, deepening ambers, and a wash of cooling violet. Light scatters across gently rippled water, drawing the eye toward a luminous point where sky and lake meet. It adds calm to any interior space.

The Story Behind the Piece
The composition balances calm and movement—an intimate study of colour and atmosphere that evokes both the last breath of day one evening at Pelee Point as my husband and I waited for the sun to set on her camping trip. It is these small, enduring moments of peace that always draws us back to southeast Ontario.
