Between Bloom and Vanishing

Acrylic on canvas.

48x54x1.50"

I’m drawn to that delicate place where something is still beautiful, but already beginning to slip away.
Not gone.
Not fully held.
Just hovering there - between presence and disappearance.
That’s what I was following in this painting.
The florals are not meant to feel fixed or decorative. I wanted them to flicker in and out of focus, almost the way a feeling does, or a memory you can still touch for a moment before it changes shape. Some passages arrive vividly, others dissolve back into color and air.
I think that’s what keeps me coming back to flowers in my work. They hold both things at once - beauty and impermanence. Softness and loss. Fullness and release.
This piece lives in that in-between space.
