The Studio

Afternoon light, pencil shavings, tea, and thought.

Afternoon light in a creative workspace: sketchbook, brushes, and chamomile tea.
Every drawing begins with a breath.
The artist’s studio at dusk, a finished portrait glowing in warm light, tea steaming softly beside scattered pencils.
Evening gathers on paper; what was made keeps breathing.

A place where afternoon light pools on paper. The scent of pencil shavings, tea, and thought. Creation is another form of prayer. Every drawing begins with a breath.

A place where afternoon light pools on paper.
The scent of pencil shavings, tea, and thought.
Creation is another form of prayer.
Every drawing begins with a breath.

What begins in silence ends in colour.
What is held too tightly dissolves.
Here, the hand learns to listen —
and the heart, at last, remembers how to move.

In this room, thought softens into form.
The graphite hums beneath the rhythm of breath.
Light pauses on the curve of a page,
waiting to become meaning in another’s hands.

The studio keeps its own time —
a pulse between stillness and creation.
What is made here is not possessed,
only shared with the light that lingers after.
