Girl in Green: How a Scribble Became a Soulful Portrait

There are days in the studio when inspiration flows easily, and then there are days when I sit in front of a blank canvas and feel completely lost. Girl in Green was born on one of those days.

I remember staring at the canvas, brush in hand, wondering what on earth to paint. Rather than force an idea, I gave myself permission to simply begin. I started scribbling, free, messy, unplanned marks across the surface. No vision, no rules, just letting my hand move.

And then, something magical happened. I stepped back to see what I had done, and lo and behold, I saw her.

Bold and vibrant, "Girl in Green" captures a striking portrait with geometric patterns and expressive colors, highlighting Viviana Stone's unique artistic style.

Hidden within the chaos of those scribbles was the outline of a face, a figure waiting to be discovered.

With excitement, I quickly began filling in the negative spaces, shaping and refining what my eye had caught. Little by little, she came to life. What started as random lines transformed into a soulful portrait: a woman emerging with strength, depth, and presence.

For me, "Girl in Green" was a reminder that art doesn’t always come from control or careful planning. Sometimes, the best work arrives when we let go, embrace uncertainty, and allow the canvas itself to speak. That day taught me to trust the process, even in the mess, and that something beautiful can be revealed.

This painting continues to hold a special place in my heart, not only for what she became, but for how she came to be. She is proof that creativity can spring forth from the simplest act of starting.
