Original artwork description:

This painting is part of the "The Song of Still Water" series, capturing the serene beauty of a tranquil pond adorned with softly blooming flowers. Rendered in an impressionistic style, the scene is imbued with a romanticized vision by the artist, Sterling. Through his eyes, the pond comes to life with heightened vividness, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in its ethereal charm.

For Sterling, painting offers a deeply satisfying creative outlet, providing him with complete control over the artistic process. However, he acknowledges the dual nature of this autonomy, recognizing that success and failure rest solely on his shoulders.

Describing his artistic style as "Romantic Impressionism," Sterling explains that he seeks to evoke emotions rather than convey precise details. Inspired by the boldness and vitality of Impressionism, he aims to infuse his paintings with a magical quality that resonates with viewers on an emotional level.

Influenced by renowned artists such as Claude Monet, Joaquin Sorolla, and John Singer Sargent, Sterling's work reflects a fusion of vibrant colors, passionate expression, and masterful simplicity. His ultimate goal is to create artworks that forge a direct and immediate connection with the viewer's emotions, whether depicting intimate interiors, bustling cityscapes, or idyllic retreats.

For Sterling, the freedom inherent in the creative process is both precious and fulfilling, fueling his passion for artistic expression and allowing him to touch the souls of those who encounter his work.
