Gentle Heart

A soft, abstract seascape painted in gentle pastel washes — think sunrise filtered through a haze of cotton candy. Broad horizontal bands of blush pink, peach, and warm gold sit against cooler streaks of aqua, mint and lavender, suggesting water and sky combined. The surface has a layered, slightly scraped texture where strokes overlap and reveal underlying colors, and a central vertical shimmer reads like the sun’s reflection breaking across rippling water. It feels quiet and reflective rather than dramatic: a moment of calm, fleeting and hopeful. The palette and diffuse forms suggest transition and memory — warmth meeting coolness, a gentle balancing of opposites, as if the painting is holding a breath between night and day.
