Gentle Return

"Gentle Return" carries a sense of quiet reflection, evoking the peaceful rhythm of the sea and the heartfelt anticipation of reunion. Leafstedt’s brushstrokes sweep across the canvas, creating a calm expanse of ocean in deep, muted blues that stretch toward a pale horizon under a soft yellow sky. The delicate boat on the horizon, almost a whisper within the composition, symbolizes the journey home. This piece, with its restrained color palette and open expanse, captures the tranquility and gratitude of welcoming a loved one back, if only for a moment.
