A New Beginning

When I painted A New Beginning, I wanted to honor that first inhale of morning—when mist loosens its hold on the world and everything seems possible. Soft blues and layered washes form a distant fir-lined shore while foreground grasses and small trees anchor the scene. Painted with wet-on-wet techniques and careful negative painting, this piece invites a quiet pause—perfect for a reading nook, office, or any space needing suk oon and calm.

Sunlight streams through a misty forest, illuminating a tranquil body of water bordered by lush foreground foliage. The composition draws the eye into the depth of the scene, highlighting the interplay of light and shadow. The artwork evokes a sense of peace and new beginnings, with its ethereal atmosphere and soft color palette. The watercolor medium lends a delicate, luminous quality to the mist and trees, creating an immersive and calming experience for the viewer.
