Where the Quiet Things Hover

9 X 12 Inch Original mixed media oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas.  Ready to hang. 

A hummingbird hovers just beyond the bloom, wings blurred by wonder. Below, broken petals and curled leaves lie scattered, not discarded, but placed. Fragments of once-loved things form a kind of altar. A garden of pieces. A moment of pause.

This is not about arrival. It’s about staying close. Near enough to witness, but gentle enough not to disturb. The kind of love that doesn’t land, but never leaves.

Part of the “Where the Quiet Things” series, this piece speaks to those who show up in soft ways — guardians in flight, companions in silence. Those who keep hovering, even when everything below looks fallen.
