Sunlight pours across a humble kitchen table in the painting “Daylight and Memories”. It catches the bright faces of golden flowers. The painting also highlights the warm tones of apples and citrus fruit. Daylight and Memories captures an awareness of the everyday. It focuses on highlighting the beauty and artistry within things that often go unnoticed. The familiar objects—a mason jar, a basket, a collection of fruit—speak to rituals of nourishment and home. And a bouquet of flowers that transforms the entire experience.

This still life is rooted in quiet observation and personal reflection. The arrangement invites the viewer to pause, to breathe, to remember. There is warmth in the palette. There is calm in the composition. A subtle power exists in the way light animates the scene.

This piece was painted from life in my studio. It reflects my ongoing fascination with how ordinary objects can hold memory and meaning.
