Three Paintings Collected Right After Website Launch
My website has just officially launched — and to my surprise and joy, the very first collector purchased three paintings at once: Chasing the Light, Emerald Calm, and Tranquility of Autumn. 🎉
This marks a meaningful beginning for my online art journey. It’s a beautiful reminder that art can connect people through the simplest, most unexpected encounters.
When I visited the collector to deliver the paintings, she shared how she found my work:
I saw your artwork at Melo 🙂
I don’t usually go there… But recently I went there after my hair cut and saw your work in the shop.
The artist name sticks and I was able to find out more online when I got home. Haha!
It turns out she first saw my paintings at Melo Patisserie, where my current solo exhibition is on display. Later, she searched my name online and discovered my website. What a wonderful coincidence — and such a heartwarming connection.
Chasing the Light
14″x11″ (35.5×27.9cm), Oil on canvas Panel.
As the sun descends into a sea of molten gold, a lone sailboat drifts toward the horizon — chasing not only the light, but a feeling beyond words. The soft waves shimmer with strokes of amber and violet, echoing the rhythm of a quiet heart at peace.
This painting captures that fleeting moment between day and night, when the world glows with both warmth and melancholy. Each brushstroke holds movement and stillness in perfect harmony, inviting the viewer to pause and breathe.
“Chasing the Light” is more than a seascape — it’s a reminder to follow the beauty that calls you, even when it fades. Its glowing palette brings serenity and hope into any space, radiating calm and inspiration every time you look at it.
Emerald Calm
14″x11″ (35.5×27.9cm), Oil on canvas Panel.
In Emerald Calm, light drifts gently across the surface of a tranquil river, painting it in layers of blue, green, and soft gold. A lone figure glides through the still water, merging into the rhythm of nature—a moment suspended between movement and stillness. The brushstrokes shimmer like ripples, each one alive with subtle energy and peace.
This painting is a meditation on serenity and solitude. It speaks to that quiet space within, where thoughts slow and the world feels vast yet gentle. Through color and reflection, Emerald Calm captures the essence of balance—strength within softness, silence within flow.
Ideal for spaces that invite contemplation, this work radiates a soothing atmosphere of light and renewal. Let it bring to your home the tranquil depth of water and the timeless calm of nature’s embrace.
Tranquility of Autumn
14″x11″ (35.5×27.9cm), Oil on canvas Panel.
In Tranquility of Autumn, the world seems to slow into a golden breath. The shimmering lake mirrors the sky’s luminous clouds, while the trees, painted in warm amber and russet hues, whisper the quiet poetry of change. Every brushstroke carries the rhythm of nature winding gently toward stillness.
This painting captures that fleeting hour when light softens the edges of the world—when the day bows gracefully to the coming dusk. In this suspended calm, the boundary between sky and water fades, and peace feels tangible, almost within reach.
Whether placed in a home or studio, this artwork invites reflection and serenity. It brings warmth to modern interiors and a timeless reminder: even as seasons turn, beauty remains. A perfect piece for collectors who seek not just color, but emotion—something that speaks in silence and stays in the heart.
❤️ Gratitude & Reflection
From a chance encounter at a café to three paintings finding their new home — this moment fills me with gratitude. Special thanks to Melo Patisserie for offering a cozy space where my works can meet new audiences.
Every collection tells a new story, and this one will always hold a special place in my memory. I’ll keep painting the quiet beauty of life, hoping my colors and light can bring warmth and peace to every heart that meets them.
