There’s something about ocean-inspired paintings that always pulls me in a little deeper—like a quiet pause, a breath, a moment of stillness and movement all at once.

Today I want to introduce two new pieces that feel especially connected in that way: “Luminous Tides” and “Tidal Blooms.”

Luminous Tides is all about movement and glow—those shifting layers of water, light, and color that feel like they’re constantly unfolding. It’s a 5×7 mixed media abstract where fluid marks and luminous tones come together in a way that feels both calm and energized, like the ocean catching light just before sunset.

Then there’s Tidal Blooms, its softer companion. This piece leans into that meeting point between sea and garden—cool ocean-inspired blues and greens woven with delicate touches of white and soft yellow florals. It feels like something quietly emerging, as if blooms are drifting in and out with the tide.

Together, they feel like a conversation—movement and stillness, depth and light, water and bloom. I didn’t set out to make them a pair, but they naturally found their rhythm alongside each other.

Both originals are now available in my shop if you’d like to take a closer look or bring one into your space. You can find them at Flowing Waters Art Shop on Etsy.

Thank you so much for spending a little time here and getting to know these new works. I always appreciate you stopping by and following along with my creative process.

Wishing you a beautiful, creative, and truly wonderful day.

Share the Happy 💖
