36" x 36" acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

One morning on a recent walk, I caught sight of a delicate purple flower—unassuming, resilient, quietly radiant. I rarely reach for purple when I paint, but something about this bloom nudged me gently toward change.

 

And so Noticing was born—a reflection of that quiet moment of paying attention, of choosing presence, and letting something unexpected lead the way.
