Enchanted Brook | Original

✍️ From My Personal Journal

I didn’t plan this one. It arrived like a memory.

I remember standing in the studio, staring at the finished painting. And instead of analyzing it, I just… smiled. Something about it pulled me inward—back to a time when the world felt magical. When everything was alive with possibility.

The moonlight gliding across the brook. The deep turquoise waters flowing like a quiet song. The stones, nestled in curves that led somewhere I couldn’t quite see. It felt like a place I had known as a child—even if it never truly existed.

I didn’t want to paint a scene. I wanted to paint a feeling. That quiet wonder from when I believed the world was good. When I thought hidden doors led to secret worlds. When flowers glowed at night and the forest listened.

The golden arch emerged without intention—as if the painting itself wanted to frame the magic. It became a doorway. A gentle reminder that we can still choose to enter wonder, even now.

The lotus flowers rose around the stream like lanterns—soft, luminous, reaching. I painted them to feel like protectors. Like guides. Their colors weren’t from nature exactly, but from memory. From a place where imagination was still sacred.

I called it Enchanted Brook, not because it belongs in a fairytale—but because it reminded me of a truth I used to believe without question: that beauty could be found anywhere. That stillness held answers. That somewhere just out of view, magic was real.

Maybe when you look at it, you’ll see your own hidden place.

Or maybe you’ll just feel something gentle wake up inside you—

—that soft knowing that the world is still beautiful. You just have to remember how to look.
