every time I visit an art exhibition or museum, i try to find at least one inspiration to bring back to my own art practice.

i found such a "souvenir" in an oil painting by the famous French impressionist Claude Monet, during one of my joyful visits to the iconic Getty Center in Los Angeles.

as I stood intimately close to the painting, these golden reflections felt home-like.

they reminded me of the countless times I watched the sun setting over the Pacific on the California coast.

i longed to make it a part of my love letters.

thinking of the how, I took this shot:

not often do you have an exact time stamp of when the inspiration was born. this time i did.

i finished this piece a while back, and for the past few months, it’s been hanging as a large print on the wall in my bedroom.

falling asleep while gazing at those golden-black calm waters has been a treat.

pssst.. 

each piece has a story -- and you'll find all behind the scenes on my website:
