New Painting Release: Seagull on Watch - A Little Christmas Cheer from the Studio

Seagull on Watch - 12x16 on gallery canvas

Hello friends,

As we move into the heart of the holiday season, I’m excited to share my latest painting with you — Seagull on Watch, an original oil piece featuring a quiet moment by the sea. A special thank you to Crystal Torres for allowing me to use her photo as a reference.

A lone seagull perched on a weathered post gazes out over the water, capturing that peaceful, contemplative feeling we often crave during this busy time of year. The soft tones and gentle light make it a calming addition to any home, especially as we cozy up for the winter months.

This painting was inspired by the simple beauty we often overlook along our Island shores — those still, wind-salted moments that remind us to pause and breathe. I hope it brings you the same sense of calm and connection that I felt while creating it.

As Christmas approaches, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones. Thank you for supporting my art, following along on my journey, and making this creative year so meaningful. If you’re still searching for the perfect gift, original art — or a custom commission — can be a beautiful, heartfelt choice.

Merry Christmas and the very best to you in the New Year.
