Daydream

2024 \ 36 x 48 (1.5” deep)

“Daydream” lives in that in-between space — not quite waking, not quite asleep. It captures the soft drift of thought, the slow exhale of stillness, and the feeling of being briefly untethered from time. With luminous tones of pale gold, layered ivory, and misty blue, the piece glows from within, inviting a quiet pause.

Technique & Craftsmanship

Built up over time with transparent acrylic washes and soft blending techniques, “Daydream” balances clarity with atmosphere. Laura works on stretched canvas using a range of brushes and tools to create subtle shifts in texture and tone — never rushed, always intentional.

Edges soften into one another while holding enough gesture to feel human. The surface carries light beautifully, changing throughout the day as ambient light moves across it.

A Note from Laura

I painted “Daydream” on a slow afternoon when the studio light was especially soft — that kind of golden light that makes everything feel a little suspended. I wasn’t thinking too hard, just letting the colors find each other. That’s what this piece holds for me: ease, drift, and openness.
