Impressionist painting from the view of the artist in bed, looking at the door that's open a crack, knowing they have to swing their legs out and get on with their day but they can't bring themselves to actually do it. The painting is heavy on the cool colors even though the blanket, walls, ceiling, and doors are all white.

...There's a specific kind of morning that doesn't belong to any one day but always seems to land on a Tuesday. The day has let itself in without asking and you can't swing your legs over the edge and make yourself greet it.

This painting is from inside that moment: the door doing its patient, relentless thing. Everything in the room is white, but I pushed the color cold deliberately, because that's what it feels like — the light is there, the day is there, and none of it is warm yet. I painted this because I needed to look at it directly. I think a lot of people know this exact ceiling.

Once this one came together, I knew I needed to take it further - currently working on a scaled up 24x36in version to amplify the looming-ness of it all.
