Oil painting of a pale magnolia flower with dew-covered petals surrounded by soft green foliage, inspired by the San Francisco Botanical Garden, by Cat Lee.

Morning Mood
oil on canvas | 12 × 12 in (30 × 30 cm)

exhibited at Raymond Winery, Nimbash, May 2026

I had walked past magnolias for years without really seeing them. One morning at the San Francisco Botanical Garden, I stopped long enough to notice the dew on the petals and the softness of the morning light. This painting holds that moment of slowing down and seeing something familiar anew.
