The Things That Matter

The Things That Matter

6x8 in. oil on linen panel

Some days, you just can’t do it all. The list stays half-finished, dinner runs late, and the house hums with a little too much chaos. But somewhere in the middle of it all, there’s this fleeting, golden pause—a bit of light, a small kindness, a laugh you didn’t expect, a call from an old friend. That’s what this piece is about.

Life isn’t a portrait of perfection. It’s about finding the beauty tucked between the moments that didn’t go as planned—the quiet grace that shows up anyway, the imperfect but honest rhythm of daily life.

Sometimes the good stuff isn’t in the grand gestures—it’s in the in-between. I painted this as a reminder that even when things don’t unfold perfectly, there’s still warmth to be found, and still joy that catches the light.
