The idea for this painting stemmed from a quiet moment of peace and reflection for the artist. Belonging to a generation and environment often feels fast paced, it’s rare to find a golden moment to relax and breathe. For the artist it was created during a spare moment of comfort and relaxation and the result is an artwork intended to remind you to do the same.
