original art
9x12
charcoal, ink, watercolor on paper
This painting was created as part of the "Stone & Bloom" Collection, an exploration of the interplay between ancient and ephemeral wisdom. The collection builds upon ancient pigments with hues reminiscent of fleeting blooms, clouds, and fields in an attempt to capture the essence of these familiar yet transient moments in a contemporary abstract form.
 
The dark shadows weaving through this composition were informed by the shapes that are made when a mother and child embrace. These overlapping forms were created with locally sourced charcoal, then emboldened with gestural washes of black ink.
 
Please consider measurements carefully before purchase and take the time to view colors on different monitors, as colors may appear different on different devices. I have done my best to represent all artworks accurately. This piece was painted on hot press heavyweight watercolor paper, so it has a smooth finish. It includes a 12x16 crisp white matted frame with glass that reflects light beautifully.
