Morning Routine - original watercolour and gouache on canvas

'Morning Routine' captures a quiet moment of connection at Dee Why Rockpool as the day begins. Two figures sit on the pool’s edge deep in conversation, suspended between movement and stillness, ritual and reflection. Bathed in soft morning light, the scene evokes the familiar rhythm of coastal living where ocean swims, shared stories and simple human connection become part of everyday ritual.

The work explores the intimacy found in ordinary moments, celebrating the grounding nature of community, conversation and the sea. Through layered texture and calming tones, Morning Routine invites the viewer into a fleeting yet timeless exchange that feels both deeply personal and universally familiar.
