Paddling Girl Gold | 100 x 75

PADDLING GIRL GOLD  : This work captures a fleeting moment of propulsion, a body stretched forward, cutting quietly through space. The figure is partially obscured, dissolving into layers of warm gold and burnished earth tones, as if memory and movement are merging in real time.

The composition leans into restraint. Gesture replaces detail. The arm reaches, the body follows, and the rest is left unresolved, allowing the viewer to complete the motion themselves. There’s a sense of effort here, but not struggle. Momentum feels measured, intentional, almost meditative.

Gold washes across the surface like late afternoon light on water, contrasting with the softened monochrome figure beneath. The textures reveal a process of layering and erasure, suggesting time, repetition, and the quiet discipline of forward movement.

This piece is less about arrival than continuation. It speaks to the act of moving through something , water, space, or life, one deliberate stroke at a time.
