Simple Pleasures: Tea in Light is a quiet tribute to the beauty in everyday moments. A steaming cup of tea sits on the kitchen counter, backlit so the steam glows against a dark background. Painting in oils allowed me to capture the soft rim light and warmth of this ordinary moment. It’s a reminder that even the simplest acts—pouring tea, savoring a pause—can be beautiful and worthy of attention.
