Soft Opening

Soft Opening captures a quiet moment of becoming — when movement begins not from urgency, but from trust.

The bird opens her wings without force, held gently by air and light. There is no need to rise, no need to perform. The surrounding space dissolves into softened color and atmosphere, allowing the figure to exist in ease rather than effort. This painting reflects a state of inner permission — a moment where strength expresses itself through gentleness.

Inspired by Florida’s light and sense of openness, this work is created with intuitive, layered oil brushwork and a luminous palette of blush, coral, soft blues, and sun-warmed tones. Edges remain intentionally softened, inviting the viewer to slow down and feel rather than analyze.

Soft Opening is an invitation to rest inside softness — and to recognize it as a form of freedom.
