Floats

Floats, 2024, Watercolor pencil on board, 8”x10”.

Traveling brings me home. Following what was quite a dark and challenging winter, thoughts of returning to Hawai’i felt like a calling and a dream I dared to hold onto.

And then, here I was. Basking in moments of grace and gratitude. Cloud gazing, beach combing, floating in green clear waters with color fish and honu (Hawaiian sea turtles.)

Staring out to sea, cloud gazing beach combing, appreciating the small ponds with tiny fish and delicae lilies where I was staying and the lovely Japanese glass fishing floats from a friend.

Moments of grace. Simple pleasures. Floating. Being.
