Quietening of the Soul

While on the journey of creating this piece, I discovered my emotions mirrored those I feel when I'm immersed in nature.

Peace and tranquility blanketed my entire body as the noise of my ego and self doubt slowly disappeared.

Each stroke of the pencil manifesting gentle soothing waves in my soul.

Words are spoken to us through stillness and vulnerability.

The ocean reassures us that it is okay to be unsure of our journey and who we are.

Surrendering to our emotions on our journey to self discovery and self love.

Nature and art are one and beauty we see in the world around us is a reflection of who we truly are.

I captured the reference photograph on a crisp, early, winter's morning at

Alexandria Beach, Noosa.

Born and raised in Brisbane, Australia Alyce Duhs is a self-taught emerging artist.
Alyce has developed her passion as an artist over many years, specialising in
photorealistic, illustrative works of art using chalk pastel. The most important part of her style is to
create vibrant paintings of wildlife, seascapes, pets, and botanicals with tremendously high attention
to detail. Alyce has developed her signature style shown through vibrant colours and dramatic
contrasting. Each artwork finished off with extremely delicate detailing and highlighting.

Alyce draws inspiration for her work from various trips to national parks, beaches, rainforests, and
wildlife sanctuaries. From this she captures elements in nature that particularly stimulate her
emotions. 
Alyce believes her art has the power to make one view the natural world in a new light. To discover
beauty in nature that otherwise might seem dull and often overlooked. Like the dreamy reflections in
the ocean or rays of sunlight shining through leaves above. The warmth and coolness of colour and
how they contrast in harmony to capture moments of pure emotion.
