“Serenity’s Burbles”
Panel II of the Serenity Triptych ~ Original Oil Pastel by Ms Bella St John.
In “Serenity’s Burbles,” the gentle flow becomes animated, dancing over rocks and catching golden light in its ripples. The forest stands tall around the stream, cloaking the scene in filtered sunlight and quiet reverence. This panel brings movement and energy to the trilogy, capturing the lively music of water in motion.
The textured strokes of oil pastel convey the sparkle of sunlight on the water’s surface and the soft hum of life beneath the trees. The burbling stream reflects both vitality and grace – each swirl of water a whisper of the forest’s timeless rhythm.
As the middle panel of the Serenity triptych, this piece marks a shift in mood. From tranquil beginning to flowing vitality, it invites the viewer to feel the movement of nature’s pulse. “Serenity’s Burbles” speaks to the beauty of transition, the liveliness within stillness, and the way serenity can shimmer even when stirred.
