May this painting, "Gratitude" bring a sense of peace and presence into your everyday life. May she be a gentle invitation to slow down and notice the quiet gifts that already surround you — the small joys, the moments of beauty, the things often overlooked. Let her presence remind you that gratitude is not just a feeling, but a powerful practice that can shift your energy and soften your heart.
My intention for creating this painting
I painted "Gratitude" as a love letter to life’s simple blessings — those moments that ground us, open our hearts, and reconnect us with the present. The young woman, eyes closed and softly smiling, stands surrounded by blooming lavender — a symbol of calm and healing — holding a bouquet filled with daisies, pink wild flowers, lavender sprigs, and a bold sunflower at the centre. Each bloom was chosen with care to represent light, joy, and the beauty of an open heart. She is not searching or striving — she is simply being, and in that stillness, she is whole.
What this painting evokes for me personally, on reflection
Reflecting on this painting brings me a sense of calm and reverence. It takes me back to those quiet, fleeting moments when I feel deeply present — often while walking in nature, watching my daughter laugh, or holding a hot cup of tea in the early morning light. Painting her reminded me how often joy is hiding in plain sight. It’s not about chasing more — it’s about noticing and receiving what’s already here. She feels like a breath out… a sacred pause to acknowledge all that is good.
A soul connection prompt for YOU to explore

I created this painting using Matisse Flow. Acrylic paints on Claybord, one thoughtful layer at a time. Finished in Liquitex Matte Satin Professional Varnish to protect from dust and UV.
Due to its low profile, this painting requires framing to be hung on your wall, and so I don't offer this painting unframed. I have 2 high-quality framing options listed. These are both stand-out options for framing this piece. However, if you love this painting and have your heart set on a particular colour or style frame, then please reach out, I am happy to accommodate special requests where I can for an agreed upon additional fee.
