This piece is inspired by summer in Muskoka. This piece creates a sense of nostalgia for summer memories: the boat rides, campfires, and ice cream cones as kids that turn into the caesars and sunsets of adulthood. “Morning Coffee encompasses the long days of July and cool evenings of September. It’s a double-double on the dock while watching the sun rise over the lake. It’s your child in your lap, roasting marshmallows and seeing fireworks for the first time. It’s a melancholy recognition that the best things in life are fleeting, and that’s what makes them so special.
