Blue reverie

40 x 40” (1.5” deep)

2024

This original oil painting captures the subtle rhythms of sunlit water as it moves from bright, shallow pools to deeper, cooler blues beyond. Soft patterns of light ripple across the surface, suggesting a delicate balance between motion and stillness—a moment frozen between memory and presence.

Crafted through layers of translucent oil paint on gallery-wrapped canvas, Tides reveals a luminous depth that shifts gently with the light.

This painting is part of an ongoing exploration of natural light and fluidity, reflecting a meditative attention to the everyday poetry of water and its movements.

Technique & Craftsmanship

Built up through many translucent layers of oil on gallery-wrapped canvas, Blue Reverie achieves a luminous depth that shifts with the surrounding light.

The painted sides extend the composition seamlessly, inviting a continuous visual experience from every angle.

Signed by the artist and sealed with a UV-protective varnish, the piece is crafted to preserve its vibrancy for years to come.

A Note from Laura

Blue Reverie reflects my ongoing fascination with the interplay of light and water—the way they shift, shimmer, and transform with fleeting moments of stillness and motion.

Through delicate layering of oils, I seek to capture not just the visual effect but the emotional resonance of these natural rhythms.
