Shimmer Quietly
Some treasures don’t shout. They shimmer quietly.
Years ago, I was deep in prairie grass when I caught the glint, an iridescent dogbane beetle clinging upside down, just being magic. No rush. No performance. Just soft defiance and resilience in a shell that changed color with the light.
This painting is for the ones who spot beauty where others rush past it.
For those who know the tiniest things can hold the loudest truths.
For anyone who’s ever felt upside down but still found a way to shine.
It’s a reminder: presence is power. And you, like this little beetle, are brighter than you think.
