Float

20 × 20 Original Painting
Acrylic and gold leaf on canvas

Part of the Land and Sea collection, Float explores Taurus energy through stillness, sensuality, and quiet presence. The turtle rests just beneath the surface, suspended between water and light, surrounded by ripples that feel both grounding and dreamlike. Taurus is often associated with beauty, slowness, embodiment, and the ability to fully inhabit the physical world. This piece leans into that energy through reflective water, rich gold tones, and the feeling of drifting without urgency.

The turtle becomes a symbol of emotional steadiness within movement. Land and sea meet here in a way that feels deeply South Louisiana to me: calm water, shifting reflections, and the sense that home can exist both above and below the surface. The gold leaf catches light throughout the day, giving the painting a warm glow that changes depending on where it lives in your space.
