I’ve been drawn into a quiet moment with my latest oil painting, "Lilac Reverie." At 11 by 14 inches, it captures a white ceramic pitcher cradling a bouquet of lilac blooms—soft petals merging shades of purple and pink, their textures almost whispering. The vase rests against a backdrop where muted lines evoke the veiled boundaries between light and shadow, like a window half-remembered in a dream. This piece is a meditation on stillness, where the delicate brushstrokes invite you to linger in a space suspended between the tangible and the elusive. Creating it felt like tracing the faint pulse of something just beyond reach—a reverie held in lilac hues.
