Pleasant Thoughts

Pleasant Thoughts captures a moment where water and air intertwine in delicate transformation. Suspended in mid-motion, the fluid shapes take the form of ethereal butterflies, their wings traced in vivid shades of blue that suggest both fragility and movement. Counterbalancing this dynamic display is a soft circular glow rendered in gentle greens and yellows, evocative of a luminescent orb or distant moon, grounding the composition with a subtle warmth. This dialogue between the cool, flowing water forms and the quiet radiance of the orb hints at the shifting thresholds between seasons, between the stillness of winter’s retreat and the promise of spring’s arrival.

The work invites quiet contemplation on the rhythms of nature and the ephemeral moments when transformation unfolds. The layered forms—water splashes that reveal hidden profiles and delicate creatures—speak to an intimate merging of the natural world with poetic abstraction, capturing the serene mindscape inspired by landscapes along the shore. Here, water becomes more than a substance; it is a vessel of peace, renewal, and the gentle passage of time, reflecting the quiet strength found in moments of stillness and emergence.
