A 20 x 20-inch mixed media portrait created in my signature abstract realism style. This original piece features a plus-size woman gazing forward with calm, light hazel eyes. Her expression is soft, yet it holds a quiet presence. She wears a wide-brimmed hat that adds elegance and strength to the composition. In front of her rests a striking blue rose, a symbol of mystery, courage, and individuality.
The artwork began with fluid acrylic inks and evolved through layers of collage, acrylic paint, and finally, oil paint. In fact, this is my first time working with oils, and it marks the first piece I’ve ever finished in this medium. That alone makes this artwork one of my personal favorites. Not only was it a technical challenge, but also an emotional one.
Completing Blue Grace became a process of release. It taught me to embrace creative fear, to lean into vulnerability, and to trust each new layer as it emerged. The transition from ink to oil mirrors my own growth: uncertain at first but ultimately grounded in bravery.
This portrait is more than a representation of beauty; it’s a quiet celebration of grace, self-acceptance, and transformation. Through her softness, she stands her ground.
Whether you’re drawn to her serene gaze, the symbolism of the blue rose, or the boldness of trying something new, Blue Grace invites you to reflect:
What would it look like to honor your evolution, even if it feels unfamiliar?
