Watchers of the Light is an atmospheric oil painting that holds the hush of a moment suspended in time. Two ceramic guardian figures stand silently beside a luminous blue vase, their presence symbolic — protectors of beauty, keepers of stillness. The light pools softly across the composition, illuminating their forms with a sense of quiet reverence.
This piece explores the balance between fragility and strength, intimacy and ceremony. Shapes echo and overlap, yet subtle variations in scale and tone invite a closer look. The composition is anchored by the deep cobalt of the cloud-patterned vase, a vessel of mystery that draws the eye and holds the painting’s emotional weight.
Built up in layers of transparent oil glazes and expressive brushwork, the surface glows with shifting cools and warms — a dance between light and shadow. Like much of Cheryl’s work, this painting invites stillness. It asks the viewer to pause, to witness, and perhaps to feel that they too are part of the quiet conversation between objects, memory, and meaning.
