Painted from a hillside overlooking a quiet Washington lake, Pastel Reverie captures one of those moments that feels like a dream you didn’t expect—but never want to leave.

The sunset was soft and glowing, casting pastel hues across the sky. Mountains stood in peaceful witness as rows of tulips bloomed in joyful color—pink, purple, orange, and white—dancing in the breeze like notes in a silent song.

Tulips have long symbolized grace, abundance, and deep affection. Their early bloom makes them a sign of renewal and strength, while each color adds a layer of meaning—pink for joy, purple for admiration, white for peace, orange for warmth.

This painting holds that moment of gentle celebration—

of color, stillness, and the quiet wonder of life in full bloom.

Set against a pastel-washed sky and glowing sunset over a Washington lake, the mountains stood like quiet witnesses as rows of tulips danced in the breeze—

pinks, purples, oranges, whites—swaying as if the whole hillside had burst into celebration.

The colors were soft and radiant all at once, the air fragrant with spring, and the lake below reflecting it all back like a dream.

This piece is a love letter to color, movement, and the joy of unexpected beauty. A reminder that sometimes, the world blooms just for you.
