Stillness in bloom

Completed immediately after the death of the artist’s father, Stillness in Bloom is a tranquil and textured acrylic on canvas that captures a moment of quiet beauty in nature. At the heart of the painting, a white lamb stands amid a field speckled with vibrant wildflowers, including bright red poppies that add warmth to the landscape, yet remind us of the fragility of life – precisely how life carries on despite tragic loss, despite loneliness. The horizon reveals a patchwork of multicoloured bushes and segmented fields in the lush, expansive Welsh countryside where the artist resides. Above, an iridescent sky casts a gentle glow over the scene, inviting viewers to embrace a sense of peace found in nature’s quiet moments.
