Night Regatta
Title: Night Regatta
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas 24×36 inches
Exhibition: Floral Bloomers for Syncing Space
Opening: August 22nd
As the summer wind carries whispers of water and dusk, Night Regatta captures the dreamy choreography of sailboats gliding under a swirling, star-soaked sky.
This piece is part of my final project for the residency and will feature it in my upcoming exhibit, Floral Bloomers for Syncing Space.In this painting, three boats drift across a body of soft, rippling blue-green water—each one anchored by bold, geometric sails in shades of coral orange and bubblegum pink.
The pattern of the sails mirrors some of the floral motifs explored throughout this residency: layered, organic, bright. Though the subject is nautical, the energy is botanical—echoing the central theme of bloom and expansion.
Inspiration-wise, I was exploring the intersection of water and wind, and how both elements create their kind of rhythm. This idea of “syncing space” feels especially potent here: boats becoming part of the sea, sails catching the unseen, and everything moving together in a kind of quiet communion.
As we approach the final week, I’m continuing to post progress in the studio and will be refining this series with a few more experiments in colour and form. I’m so grateful for the energy in this residency space and am super excited to share this work on August 22nd.
