"A Light Within" is a serene landscape painting, elegantly presented in a 9x12 oil medium. This picturesque scene captures the tranquil beauty of a calm body of water mirroring a tree line illuminated by soft, golden light. The trees, with their rich green and shadowy tones, suggest dense foliage along the shoreline. Above, the sky gradually transitions from a peaceful light blue at the top to warm, glowing hues near the horizon. The reflection of this radiant light on the water amplifies the peaceful ambiance of the scene.

The artwork is crafted in a soft, impressionistic style, creating a tranquil and ethereal quality that evokes a sense of calm and serenity. The fluid, blended brushstrokes contribute to a dreamlike feel, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the peaceful setting. The inspiration for this piece came from a morning walk along the Mississippi River, where a dark and cloudy morning suddenly burst into glowing sunshine, bringing an optimistic start to the day. This transformation is poignantly captured in the luminous and radiant quality of the painting.
