This piece began its journey in 2023, much like the magnolia buds that linger through the chill of winter, waiting patiently for their time to bloom. Life intervened, and the painting was set aside, unfinished—dormant, much like its subject.
In early 2025, I returned to it, reawakening the brushstrokes and allowing the piece to unfold. The magnolias - soft yet resilient - speaking renewal, patience, and the beauty that emerges after a season of stillness.
"From Dormancy" is as much about the act of painting as it is about the subject itself—a reminder that growth and beauty often come after a season of pause.
