The Glimmers of Life Collection: `The Way The Air Smelled` 25x30

Some feelings never fully leave.
They return in waves —
in the way the light falls on a wall,
or the way the air suddenly smells like something you once loved.

This piece captures that fleeting sense —
soft pinks and faded violets brushing across the canvas like distant laughter,
like perfume caught in motion,
like a memory you can’t quite name but feel completely.

Hints of warmth dissolve into richer tones —
just like the way joy sometimes dissolves into reflection.
Just like how we remember love long after it’s gone.

The color flows are gentle but deliberate.
Each layer feels like a breath, a scent,
a whisper from a version of you that once stood in a moment
and thought, “This — this matters.”

I painted this piece with that exact sensation —
of remembering something only because the air brought it back.

May it remind you of a time that shaped you.
Of something beautiful that still lingers.

Of how deeply alive a moment can become
when you're just quiet enough to feel it.
