*Patterns Beneath the Pastel Tide*, explores the quiet power of movement within softness. At 40 by 30 inches, the canvas unfolds in layers of gentle pastels—pink, blue, purple, and turquoise—washed with vibrant bursts that breathe life into the surface. I wanted to capture a feeling of fluidity, where shapes and textures emerge like fleeting moments beneath a shifting tide. There’s a rhythm here that feels alive and spontaneous, a delicate balance between calm and energy, inviting you to discover the subtle patterns that often go unnoticed. Creating this piece reminded me how beauty can arise from softness and flow, and how within every gentle current lies the potential for something unexpected and full of depth.
