Title: Connected to the Source 
Dimensions:  22” x28” Stretched Canvas
Centered within a calm, textured gray field, a vibrant orange lily emerges with quiet conviction, its six petals unfolding with deliberate grace. The flower’s rich hues contrast sharply against the muted background, drawing immediate focus to its form that balances realism with subtle stylization. Fine shading lends depth to each petal, while the black-tipped stamens add a purposeful accent that grounds the composition. Around the bloom, leaves and buds rendered in soft grays and whites recede gently, creating a sense of space that both contains and elevates the central flower.
This artwork invites reflection on the idea of staying connected to one’s essential foundation—a source of strength and growth that allows the full expression of potential. The textured canvas and thoughtful layering of tones evoke a dialogue between resilience and renewal, suggesting the quiet power found in grounded presence. The interplay between the vibrant lily and its subdued environment embodies the tension and harmony between emergence and stillness, offering a visual meditation on transformation rooted in inner connection.
Through its careful balance of color, form, and texture, the piece encourages viewers to consider how clarity and purpose can arise from complexity. It serves as a reminder that amidst the noise and distraction of life, returning to one’s source—in whatever form that takes—can reveal a path toward wholeness and creative flourishing.
