Misty Morning 

Dan Graziano created this oil on canvas titled 'Misty Morning'. The painting immediately strikes one with its hazy atmosphere, achieved through soft brushstrokes and muted tones. The composition centres on the solid form of a lighthouse, juxtaposed against the fluid, almost dissolving shapes of the surrounding foliage. Graziano masterfully plays with texture; the rough, tactile surface of the lighthouse contrasts with the ethereal quality of the mist-laden background. This contrast serves not only to highlight the lighthouse as a stable structure, but also to challenge our perceptions of solidity and ephemerality. The painting destabilizes the traditional landscape, inviting a contemplation on the transient nature of perception itself. The dynamic use of line and color invite ongoing interpretation and re-interpretation of the work.
