Beside Still Waters

Designed specifically for Renew Stating Co. for a custom Snake River Valley Parade of Homes, this piece is now for sale and on display in Middleton, Idaho, as part of the 2025 Snake River Valley Parade of Homes.

This painting reflects peace, rest, and the quiet, steady guidance of God’s presence. Inspired by the serene beauty of the Idaho landscape just beyond the home’s backyard — quiet mornings, marshy lands, and the stillness that only nature can bring. It’s a visual tribute to the calm and clarity found in creation.

Soft, layered neutrals move gently across the canvas, evoking a sense of calm, while grounded brushwork adds depth and presence. It’s a piece that speaks quietly but deeply.

Having grown up in Idaho, I’m incredibly thankful for the childhood and years I’ve spent surrounded by this landscape. It has shaped who I am, and this painting is a reflection of that.

As with all my work, it was created to bring warmth and timelessness to a space, a reminder of home, of stillness, and of the beauty found in slowing down.

Inspired by the verse “He leads me beside still waters” (Psalm 23:2).
