Layered ridgelines recede into soft blue-grey haze above the broad bend of the Delaware Water Gap at first light. Rich, visible brushwork builds the slopes in pale green and silver, while calm water mirrors the mountains and the sky warms faintly overhead. Mountains and river stretch edge to edge across the canvas, capturing the quiet stillness of early morning in the highlands.
