Nocturne - Original

Nocturne
Beneath the quiet sky, a bird glides through the darkness, wings illuminated against the night. Beneath8 it, a branch of dried leaves drifts in the air — weightless, fragile, yet alive with motion.

Though the leaves speak of endings, they are not without spirit. In their passing they carry grace, a presence felt in the moment before they settle. The bird, vibrant and untethered, moves alongside them — a symbol of continuity, of life carrying forward even as seasons shift.

Nocturne reflects the delicate balance between what is fleeting and what endures: a meditation on change, presence, and the quiet beauty of movement through time.

The bird in flight carries life and freedom, while the dried leaves suspended in air hold presence, movement, and a fleeting reminder that even what has passed still has vitality in its passage.

SPECIAL THANKS!

I would like to express my Gratitude to Caitlin Bell, Founder of Lyptus Art, who's photography played a role in guiding the direction of my painting "Nocturne".

Caitlin is an incredibly talented & professional Australian Photographer who has a shared love of nature and a very special talent for capturing the most beautiful images.  I am most honoured to have connected with her.

Once I decide on a vision for my art, I conduct intense research seeking the right image or inspiration to bring it to life.  I came across Caitlin's photography and felt a deep connection to her subjects, one piece in particular.
