Sincere emerged through reduction rather than addition. As I worked, I experimented with colour, texture, and layers of mixed media. Over time, the surface grew more complex — and the painting grew quieter in the wrong way, losing its sense of clarity.
Stepping back, I realized the work didn’t need more information. It needed less. A lighter touch and a limited palette allowed the painting to breathe again.
In that restraint, the flowers found their way forward — simple, open, and present. The piece became a reminder that what we’re often searching for isn’t hidden by lack, but by excess. When the noise falls away, what matters can finally be seen.

Mixed media painting on Strathmore acid free linen finish acrylic paper, mounted on wood in an antique silver floater frame.
