Description:

“Inhale” is that suspended moment just before impact—the curl of a wave about to break, the breath before release. Deep cobalt and ultramarine blues pull the viewer inward, while razor-fine brushwork creates movement you can feel in your chest.

Hidden in the flow is a gold ring—quiet, intentional, easily missed unless you pause. It’s the breath within the breath. A reminder.

This painting is about the power of stillness. About holding everything at once: chaos, peace, memory, and anticipation.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Expansive Format: At 4 feet tall, it commands a space without overwhelming it.

• Energetic Stillness: Full of motion, yet meditative in tone.

• Layered Symbolism: With a quiet gold ring tucked into the wave, it invites reflection and repeated discovery.

• Emotion in Motion: Captures the moment we rarely recognize until it’s already gone.

About the Artist:

Kelly O'Brien is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the emotional undercurrents of everyday life. Her paintings often center on subtle storytelling, color as mood, and the connection between natural elements and inner states.

Placement Suggestion:

Ideal for tall, narrow spaces—a hallway, stairwell landing, or corner reading nook. Also stunning centered on a clean, modern wall where the vertical pull draws the eye upward.
