Hope in Stillness

"Hope in Stillness." This 16 by 20 inch oil painting captures a blue heron standing quietly in shallow water, its feathers painted in cool blues and purples, set against a warm, textured background that suggests the glowing reflections of light on water. Watching blue herons in my backyard has always been a source of calm for me. Their quiet confidence and focused presence remind me how important it is to find peace in solitude. With this painting, I aimed to bring that feeling forward. A moment of stillness filled with quiet strength and unexpected vibrancy. I hope "Hope in Stillness" encourages you to embrace the power of being present, to find renewal in reflection, and to carry a sense of calm energy into your day.
