"What the Sunlight Carries" | 24inx24in Original Painting

A quiet moment in full bloom.
“What the Sunlight Carries” captures the glow of late afternoon light spilling across a window ledge, illuminating a vase of fresh-cut blue hydrangeas. Painted in acrylic on a 24x24 inch canvas, this piece blends realism with softness — evoking the romance of slow summer days. I wanted to create something with the feeling of laying in a sun puddle feeling the warmth on your face and from the floor, feeling carefree. Childhood nostalgia, but elevated. 

Whether you're styling a coastal cottage, adding warmth to a gallery wall, or searching for a timeless floral heirloom, this one-of-a-kind painting is a statement of peace, nostalgia, and natural beauty.
