This set of four paintings captures the quiet beauty of an afternoon spent in nature, exploring a serene marsh in the Bay Area. What began as a simple school assignment turned into a moment of peaceful discovery. We wandered through a field of tall, swaying grass, the breeze carrying the soothing scent of dry grasses and wildflowers. Pausing often to soak in the birds and breathtaking views, we let ourselves linger, fully present in the moment.

In the distance, four horses moved gracefully across the landscape. The smallest rider, patiently guided on foot, followed as the more experienced riders ventured ahead, pausing to let their horses graze. It was a scene of pure tranquility, of togetherness, and of quiet observation.

In this series, I’ve captured that magical afternoon. If you look closely, you might just spot the riders making their subtle appearance, hidden among the peaceful expanse of the landscape.
