This week’s painting depicts a peaceful scene featuring a girl reaching toward a swan as soft, peach-colored light glows across the water. The whole thing felt a little dreamlike to paint which I enjoyed so much!

To close out Shark Week, I wanted to share a painting inspired by it – something a little quieter than the usual dramatic shark content, but still carrying that same sense of awe and unease.

This piece shows a young girl standing in front of a massive great white shark at an aquarium. She’s safe behind the glass, but there’s a hesitation in her posture, curious but cautious. I loved painting that tension: the stillness of the moment, the scale of the shark, and the feeling that something powerful is just on the other side.

I’ve always found sharks both terrifying and fascinating (thank you, Jaws!)
