New Work: Exploring the Movement of Water

I’m excited to share that my newest oil painting is complete. This piece has been a quiet exploration, on the gentle, repetition in the movement of water.

As I painted, I found peace in the natural rhythm to it, soft currents, and ripples. I wanted to capture that feeling: not just how it looks, but how it feels to sit beside a stream and watch it move, endlessly and effortlessly.

Using a muted, earthy palette and fine linear brushwork, I focused on layering textures that echo the flow of water gliding over a riverbed. Each line became a trace of motion, each color a reflection of stillness beneath the surface.

Painting this piece was as calming as the subject itself. It gave me a chance to slow down, to really observe and translate something subtle into form and color. It’s always fascinating to see where a painting leads, and this one led me deeper into a kind of quiet observation that I deeply appreciate.

You can view the finished work HERE, and I’d love to know what it evokes for you.

Thank you for following along on this creative journey.
