Orion’s Rise is a small nocturne capturing the quiet moment when the Orion constellation begins to rise. The Milky Way stretches nearby, and a soft purple glow touches the horizon. The foreground is simple—just a suggestion of earth, there but not demanding attention. This piece is about subtlety and stillness, the kind of night that feels almost weightless. I kept the brushwork loose and the colors soft to let the sky do most of the talking.
