Stillness In Glass

7.5 x 11.0 inches

In Stillness in Glass, I transformed a simple object—a clear bottle—into a meditation on light, texture, and presence. Painted in watercolor with exquisite control, the bottle sits quietly on a wooden surface, surrounded by warm tones and soft shadows. Its transparency is not just a technique —it’s a metaphor. The glass reflects its surroundings, yet remains empty, inviting viewers to project their own thoughts and emotions into its quiet form. The wood grain behind and beneath the bottle adds a sense of groundedness and time, as if the scene has been waiting patiently to be noticed. Every detail, from the cork stopper to the subtle highlights on the glass, speaks to the artist’s deep observation and emotional sensitivity. This painting asks the viewer to slow down, to look closely, and to find beauty in the everyday.
