Grace - 12x16 Mixed Media Oil Painting
"Grace" is a 12 x 16 inch treasure of tranquility, presenting a moment captured in time where nature's elegance is in perfect harmony. This intimate vertical canvas speaks to women who have learned that grace isn't about perfection—it's about moving through life's challenges with quiet dignity, finding nourishment where you can, and trusting that you have everything you need to sustain yourself through any season.
Nature's Lesson in Quiet Strength
This piece speaks to the soul with its gentle depiction of a bird amid lush blueberries, embodying the quiet strength and resilience that resonate with those at the cusp of transformation. The bird, rendered with careful attention to its delicate features and peaceful presence, represents the part of you that knows how to find sustenance even in uncertain times. The abundant blueberries in deep purples and blues, surrounded by verdant leaves, symbolize the nourishment that's always available when we're present enough to notice it.
A Companion Through Life's Transitions
Ideal for the collector who sees art as a companion through life's transitions, "Grace" is more than a painting—it's a companion for reflection and a symbol of the peaceful poise we all strive for. The bird doesn't struggle or force; it simply rests among the berries, taking what it needs with natural ease. This painting reminds us that grace is found not in having everything figured out but in trusting ourselves to navigate whatever comes with calm presence and inner knowing.
Harmony in Every Brushstroke
Created using my signature mixed media technique, this 12 x 16 inch painting combines collage, acrylic washes, and oil paint to build rich texture and depth. The blueberries are rendered with dimensional glazing that captures their plump ripeness, while the bird's feathers are painted with soft, detailed brushwork. The background features subtle greens and warm earth tones that create a sense of shelter and abundance. The vertical orientation draws the eye upward, inviting contemplation and connection.
Peaceful Poise for Your Space
"Grace" brings a sense of peaceful poise to any space—perfect for bedrooms, reading nooks, home offices, or anywhere you seek a visual reminder that you can move through life with both strength and softness. This painting honors women who have learned that resilience doesn't mean being hard; it means being flexible enough to bend, wise enough to rest, and trusting enough to receive the nourishment life offers.
This piece makes a thoughtful gift for women navigating transitions with dignity, celebrating their own quiet strength, or learning to find grace in the midst of uncertainty. It's for anyone who understands that the most powerful transformations often happen not with drama but with the gentle, persistent grace of a bird finding its way.

About Grace and Resilience
"Grace" explores the intersection of strength and gentleness, resilience and receptivity. The bird among blueberries represents the wisdom of knowing when to rest, when to receive, and when to trust that abundance is present even when life feels uncertain. This painting honors the women who move through challenges not by forcing or fighting but by maintaining their center, trusting their instincts, and finding nourishment in unexpected places. Grace isn't something we achieve—it's something we return to, again and again, like a bird returning to the branch that holds it.
