The Bouquet

Original bokeh oil painting

A vase of flowers sits in soft early evening light, arranged on crumpled fabric, the kind of casual elegance that suggests a garden gathering about to unfold, or one just winding down.

Backlit and luminous, the flowers glow against the softened garden beyond. There's an unhurried air here, the feeling of pausing mid-moment to really see what's in front of you. Small enough to hold close, this painting invites you into a fleeting moment, that timeless hour when daylight turns golden and the evening feels full of possibility.

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'.
