I’m happy to introduce my newest piece, "Soft Echoes of Spring." This 8 by 10-inch drawing is created with colored pencils, a medium I explored in a recent online class. The work focuses on a single flower, its soft pink and purple petals blending gently into a subtle brown and green background. I aimed to capture the flower’s quiet grace through careful shading and delicate color transitions, creating a calm and intimate mood. Framed in an ornate gold frame, this piece feels both timeless and softly expressive—an invitation to pause and appreciate nature’s understated beauty.
