On the Water
Summer in Color
Summer on the water, turned up in color.
Sometimes you don’t have to go far to get away.
A quiet morning on Lake Allatoona transformed into an expressive study of stillness, reflection, and the restorative feeling of being on the water.

The Original Moment
Some photographs hold onto a season as much as a place. This image began with one of those familiar days around the water—kayaks, reflections, sunlight, and the easy rhythm of being outside. What stayed with me was the feeling of summer: bright, active, colorful, and unhurried.
From Photograph to Art
For Summer in Color, I let color carry more of the story. The original scene remains recognizable, but richer hues and expressive movement bring forward the energy and warmth I associate with days spent kayaking. The result is intentionally less quiet than some of my other water pieces—a celebration of summer rather than a study in stillness.
