Original Watercolor

This painting was born from one of those rare evenings when the world seems to exhale. The sun had already slipped behind the horizon, but it left behind a slow-glowing sky—layers of apricot, lavender, and soft cobalt drifting into one another like a whispered conversation between day and night. The water held every color gently, as if it understood the gift it was given and didn’t want to disturb it with a single ripple.

I remember standing there, feet planted in the sand, aware that nothing extraordinary was happening—and yet everything was. This is the kind of moment that taught me the art of noticing: the way light softens as it leaves, the quiet rhythm of the shoreline, the deep calm that arrives when you allow yourself to simply be present.

“Stillness at Sunset” is my attempt to hold that fleeting peace on paper—an invitation to slow down, breathe, and let the colors settle something inside you. It was painted with the intention of becoming a small sanctuary, a window into a place where the world pauses just long enough for you to find your center again.

If you’ve ever stood by the water and felt time stretch in the gentlest way, this piece was made for you.
