Soft colours, radical love.
These paintings explore the magic of shadows swaying and playing in our environment and in our minds. This work has been part of a practice in softening and gentleness with myself, for others, and in my painting process. I am leaning into softness, transparency, wildness, ease, imperfection, impermanence and acceptance through this work.
Shadows, though themselves dark, are evidence of light. Shadows of plants are evidence of life. But none of it can be grasped. And none of it can be held. The leaves flutter, the sun moves along its predictable and ever-shifting path (okay, technically the earth is moving). Moment to moment they are never static. Nothing is. And that's the whole point. None of it stays, and we love anyway.

This small original painting is perfect for a small space on a wall but its 1.5” depth allows it to rest happily on a self as well. I recommend framing in a wood floater frame.
Size: 6” x 6” x 1.5”
Medium: oil paint on cradled wood panel. Initialed on the front, signed and titled on the back. Ready to hang.
Please allow up to 3 weeks for me to carefully pack and ship your order and an additional 1-2 weeks for delivery via Canada Post. All orders are shipped with tracking.
