Some seasons ask us to bloom anyway — not loudly, not perfectly, but fully. Held in Stillness is a painting about that kind of trust. Three roses move through the canvas in layers of cream, peach, and rose each at a different stage, each luminous against a background of sage and celadon that breathes and shifts like memory. The largest bloom anchors the center with quiet confidence. The others hover at the edges, emerging and dissolving, as if the whole garden is mid-breath. There is tenderness here. A softness that doesn't mean weakness. The kind of stillness that only comes when you know you are held. "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." — Matthew 28:20
