A soft, dreamlike quality pervades Jen Hitchings' 2022 oil on panel work, *Fuzzy Morning*, capturing the hazy, half-awake atmosphere of early daylight hours. Rich, textured brushwork lends a tactile warmth to the composition, evoking the blurred edges of consciousness that linger between sleep and wakefulness. The intimacy of the panel format draws the viewer into a quietly contemplative moment suspended in the gentle light of morning.
