Even the most vibrant souls need a moment of balance. There’s a rare stillness in this moment—a tūī, known for its lively song and restless energy, pausing in perfect balance. Pois ed in the Quiet captures that fleeting space between movement and rest, a reminder that even the most vibrant souls need time to centre themselves before soaring once more. As I painted this piece, I felt the contrast of motion and stillness, of vibrancy and calm. The tūī, perched delicately atop a stack of stones, embodies the art of balance—not just physical, but spiritual. The soft, swirling greens and hints of ethereal light create a dreamlike backdrop, echoing the unseen energies that hold us steady when we choose to pause. Part of my Finding Centre series, this painting is a meditation on presence, trust, and the power of stillness. My hope is that Poised in the Quiet offers a moment of reflection in your space, reminding you that strength is not only in movement but in the ability to stand still and listen to the whispers of the soul. This mixed-media painting is 22x28 inches. Show more
