About
Sabrina Zhou’s Quiet Beginning, an intimate 8-inch tall by 10-inch wide oil painting on canvas, is a stunning exploration of color, light, and texture.

The painting depicts a serene countryside bathed in soft, natural light. Zhou’s brushwork is rich and expressive, with textured layers of oil paint adding depth and movement to the scene. Lush green meadows stretch across the canvas, their various shades of lime, emerald, and teal blending harmoniously. The rolling fields are punctuated by shadowed pathways, guiding the viewer’s eye through the composition toward the tree line, where dense foliage emerges in deeper blues and greens. Above, a tranquil sky—painted with delicate tones of pale blue and soft lavender—anchors the composition, enhancing the painting’s airy and meditative quality.
Zhou’s use of light is particularly striking, as sunlight filters gently across the fields, illuminating the grassy textures with a golden glow. The contrast between sunlit areas and cooler shadows creates a dynamic interplay of warmth and coolness, while her confident brushstrokes lend the piece an energetic, tactile presence.
