I'm Still Here | Original Oil Painting on Canvas
8 × 8
“I’m still here,” the flowers seem to say, gathered in a simple vase as their once-bright lift begins to soften. Their edges relax, their stems lean, and the light coming through the room casts longer, more intricate shadows behind them. There’s a tender honesty in this stage—the beauty that remains even as the first signs of fading appear. It’s a quiet reminder that presence doesn’t always look vibrant or new; sometimes it’s the soft persistence, the holding on, that speaks the loudest.
Oil paintings are created with an underpainting and finished with an Alla Prima technique. Oil paintings are created with artist grade paints, canvas, solvents and oils. All edges are also hand-painted with a continuation of the artistic subject, rather than masked edges, resulting in a beautiful raised look that will look professional both framed or unframed. Dry times for oil paintings last 1 year or more and have been completed.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, one might say I’ve become fixated on the landscape surrounding me. Rainy beaches, soft waves that are protected by distant shorelines, sun-laden coves of trees and an endless sky of clouds - it’s all a boundless muse. This current collection of works were painted over the course of several months, during a storm season that defines a new normal, affected by climate change. I used brushstrokes, lines, shapes and color embody emotion within the vastness of these landscapes. I am calling this series “Devotion”.
