A bagel is part of my growing series Small Comforts, inspired by the foods that quietly hold our stories. The playful comforts, the shared tables, the small bites that stay with us longer than we expect.
This piece captures a plain, golden bagel just as it is. No toppings. No styling. Just warmth, texture, and that familiar shape we’ve held in our hands a hundred times.
Sometimes comfort isn’t elaborate. It’s the smell of a bakery, a slow morning at the kitchen table, a bite taken before the day begins.
Painted in delicate watercolor layers to honor softness, light, and the beauty of the ordinary.
