A tribute to quiet strength and golden resilience
“Golden Stillness” is the final piece in my Golden Bloom subcollection. As such, it honors the grace that blooms from stillness, softness, and emotional clarity. This 12×12-inch mixed-media portrait on canvas features a plus-size woman with her eyes closed, her long hair dancing in the wind. Three sunflowers frame her gently, adding warmth and symbolism to the composition.
A creative process layered with intention
To begin, I glued textured paper onto the canvas to build depth. Then, I applied gesso to prepare the surface for the next layers. After that, I added flowing acrylic inks, letting them move naturally to create an intuitive, emotional background. Finally, I completed the portrait using acrylic paint, bringing the woman’s presence to life through color and expression.
Color choices that tell a deeper story
The palette speaks of serenity and boldness at once. While the dominant turquoise tones suggest calm and introspection, the bright yellow sunflowers add a sense of joy. Additionally, earthy orange-browns offer grounding contrast throughout the background. Her blouse, painted in vibrant fuchsia, represents unapologetic confidence.
Closing a chapter with presence and grace
Although this is the last piece in Golden Bloom, it feels more like a pause than a farewell. In fact, it’s a celebration of rest, self-connection, and the beauty of simply being. Above all, this piece reminds us that we don’t always need to push or perform. Sometimes, quiet moments hold our loudest truths—and in stillness, we bloom.
