The Season I stopped

The Spark: 
The piece began in a rush, like I was trying to out-paint everything I was carrying. The first layers came heavy, fast, unapologetic. It was less about planning and more about release. 



The Middle: 
The colours started stacking on top of each other - reds, magentas, deep contrasts. It felt dense, almost overwhelming. There was no space left to hide on the canvas. 


The Quiet Rebellion: 
And then I stopped. Not because I'd run out of energy, but because stopping was the most powerful thing I could do. Every bloom on this canvas marks the moment I refused to keep explaining or going over and over it. Sometimes rebellion isn't obvious, it's choosing not to move when your expected too. 


The Message: 
This painting holds pause - the proof that stopping isn't weakness. It's strength, recalibration and the beginning of something bigger. 


Whats the Specs?
This piece is 120x90cm, framed in flooded gum. 

What did I watch while creating this?
No TV series were binged whilst creating this piece - it was a mixture of my favourite podcast - Big Business with Brittney Saunders and my favourite RnB remixes. 

How many hours did this take me? 
This piece took 84 hours. 

Will this be offered as a Print? 
Unfortunately, no, I fear I may regret this though.
