Studio Notes

                                                                                         

 

Welcome to my home studio.

​

Here I share what’s happening behind the scenes, the changing light, works in progress, small life moments, and the gentle pace of creating in a world that often feels rushed.

​​

Summer has been so beautiful here in BC. The days have been long, the evenings warm, and the sunsets have given me plenty of reasons to step outside and simply enjoy the season. I’ve loved every bit of it, and I’m still finding myself looking for those beautiful evening skies whenever I can.

 

But slowly, the days are getting shorter. The light feels a little different, the evenings arrive a little earlier, and the scenery around us is beginning to change. The greens will soon make way for warmer tones, the trees will start to turn, and the landscape will take on that familiar feeling of fall.

 

There is something I really love about this transition. As the season changes outside, we naturally begin changing things around us too. We reach for warmer colours, softer textures, cozy corners, and quieter evenings. It feels like our bodies are slowly asking us to reset after the long, busy days of summer and find a little more calm and comfort in our everyday spaces.

 

I can already feel that shift making its way into my studio. The paintings I create over the coming weeks will slowly begin to reflect more warmth, softer light, earthy colours, and the quiet beauty that comes with this time of year. I’m looking forward to exploring that change while still carrying a little bit of summer with me.

 

Outside my window, the transition is happening slowly. There is still plenty of green, the sunsets are still beautiful, and summer hasn’t quite let go yet. But the small changes are there if you take the time to notice them. I think that is what I love most about the changing seasons. Nothing happens all at once. The landscape simply shifts, little by little, until one day you realize everything looks different.

 

In the studio, I’m embracing that slower feeling too. Painting has always been a way for me to create a sense of calm in my own space, and I hope the work I make during this season carries some of that feeling with it.

 

So as we move towards shorter days, warmer colours, and cozier evenings, I’m looking forward to seeing where this season takes my work. For now, I’m still enjoying every last bit of summer light and catching those beautiful sunsets whenever I can.

 

Thank you for visiting this little corner of my world. I hope you find something here that brings a little warmth, calm, and comfort into your day.

 

Love,

Ritika
