Quiet Joy is a deeply intuitive floral portal painting layered in fuchsia, turquoise, and warm earthy browns. Swirls of energy, tiny stars, and delicate flowers emerge subtly from within the portal, accompanied by flowing vines and leaves, creating a magical, secret garden feeling.
This piece was guided by nature, intuition, and the gentle rhythm of water and paint. Each mark carries the quiet thrill of discovery — a joyful reminder that joy doesn’t have to be loud; it can be found in the small, everyday miracles: a flower pushing through the soil, sunlight catching a feather, or the first breath of spring in a garden.
Created with my favorite natural mark-making tools — sticks and feathers found in the woods of Maryland.
Created on 9" x 12" Yasutomo Mineral Paper, this original work is layered with watercolors and fine art acrylic inks. It is sealed with archival varnish, signed at the bottom, and ready to frame.
Each painting arrives thoughtfully packaged with love and includes:
A signed Certificate of Authenticity
A poetic story card sharing the meaning behind the work
Free U.S. shipping
International shipping available (please email me at krista@kristajbrock.com)
