'First Light' one of the favorites of mine was the artist Maxfield Parrish..... just as was 'Tributary' an inspirational tribute to him, so is this, my version of his 'Day Break' work.... indeed, more or less copied the leafry in the background off of his work, so as to let others in on the tributing idea.... this was one of a woman having her first daybreak in her new apartment, books still piled against the wall, and only a mattress to sleep on.. there is a warmth and freshness about it, tho, which was not seen in Parrish's work, allowing much in the browns and oranges here instead of the heavy bluing seen in the original.... very definitely a 'sense of life' work here.... one of positiveness and anticipation of the coming day, of a new adventure in the making...
