“Serenity’s Flow”
Panel I of the Serenity Triptych ~ Original Oil Pastel by Ms Bella St John.
“Serenity’s Flow” invites the viewer into a tranquil woodland scene where water gently winds its way through a grove of leaning trees and soft green undergrowth. This is not simply a landscape – it is an immersive moment of peace. The dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, the shimmering blues of the stream, and the subtle energy of the forest edge all create a feeling of quiet movement and natural grace.
As the first in a three-part series, this piece sets the tone for the Serenity triptych. It represents the beginning of flow – where stillness begins to stir, and nature leads us inward. Rich in texture and tone, the oil pastels give the surface a gentle depth, allowing light and shadow to dance in harmony.
Perfect as a standalone work or as part of the complete triptych, “Serenity’s Flow” speaks to the quiet power of presence and the restorative rhythm of the natural world.
