Description:
A Gentle Becoming is a tender study of growth, color, and quiet transformation. Soft yet vibrant strokes of oil pastel form blooming red and pink flowers, their petals unfolding with a sense of intimate movement. Hints of fresh green leaves frame the composition, adding balance and a feeling of renewal.

The blossoms emerge from a textured blue-and-yellow vase, its layered surface creating a subtle contrast between stillness and motion. The interplay of warm and cool tones gives the piece a serene emotional depth—capturing a moment where nature feels both delicate and full of possibility.

This artwork brings together expressive mark-making, gentle color transitions, and a bloom-filled narrative that invites viewers into a space of calm, beauty, and becoming.
