This original painting by Alberta artist Steve R. Mitts reveals a study in quietude—a place where a moment is finally allowed to breathe. Through layers of translucent washes and weathered textures, the image emerges like a long-held memory finally coming into focus. It captures a fleeting, tender exchange between woman and flower: a stillness that is delicate yet grounded. There is a soft inner glow here that doesn't just ask to be seen, but to be felt—a rich, enduring intimacy that invites you to linger. Mitts combines contemporary structure with 16th Century Renaissance influences. Using a meticulous layering of acrylic washes and gels, he achieves a textured, stained glass finish. This piece is created on 100-year-old reclaimed grain bin wood, making the material as much a part of the story as the painting itself. Measures 12 x 15 x 1 1/4 inches deep.
