Artist’s Note

The white poppy stands for peace, memory, and quiet strength.

The blue moon in this painting is too large to fit within the frame. It leans in with a calm, steady pull.

I let myself rest under its light.

The white poppies stay still beneath the moon, waiting without words.

Somewhere in that stillness, a good night quietly begins.
