Stay

“Stay” – Framed Original Painting by Jennifer Irving

This piece comes from a feeling I still recognize instantly. Watching a film like Dirty Dancing and hearing its soundtrack pulls me back to my younger years—when emotions felt bigger, time felt slower, and certain songs seemed to live inside you. That sense of nostalgia hasn’t faded. It arrives all at once, warm and familiar.

The shapes in this painting move the way memory moves—layered, overlapping, never linear. Colors meet and part, then return, like moments replayed in the mind. There’s a softness beneath the structure, a sense of holding onto something that once made you feel awake and deeply present.

Stay is about that quiet ache of remembering. About how music and film can suspend time, letting you stand briefly inside who you once were. Nothing needs to happen. The feeling itself is enough—and it stays.
