The Meadow

Original bokeh oil painting

Wildflowers catch the light in a quiet corner of the park - soft, luminous & alive. Trees frame the scene behind, light filtering through, creating a sense of gentle depth. This small oil painting captures a fleeting moment of beauty, the kind you might stumble upon and pause to really see - as I did when I took the reference photo for this painting. 

A reminder that joy often grows in surprising places.

The Glimmers Collection

Glimmers are considered tiny moments of joy in your day. This collection of small oil studies resists overthinking in capturing moments of light, place, and atmosphere. I aimed to paint them quickly and intuitively, with each work allowing softness and joy to lead the way. 

While these pieces are slightly looser than my canvas paintings, they are finished pieces in their own right, and some may inform future, larger works. Together, they offer an intimate pocket of joy.

Bokeh does 2 things:

1. It magnifies - the soft focus allows light & beauty to grow, and
2. It simplifies - the art takes the focus off 'sharp edges' and 'nitty gritty details'.
