Original Watercolor Painting, 22 x 30 on Arches deckled edge watercolor paper. This piece tells a story of hope and resilience. I love to see the ruins of buildings and walls being enveloped by blankets of green moss and new growth. In this intimate piece, you see a yellow flower trailing out from a crevice in a crumbling brick wall. The young girl’s face is tenderly painted in smooth layers to contrast with the rough bricks. She looks at a butterfly, a California Pipevine Swallowtail or Battus Philenor Hirsuta.

I am inspired by the beauty and strength found in nature and I hope that you will feel some of that optimism when you gaze upon this work.

This work is framed in a black velvet backed shadow box with a thin black frame and uv-protective glass. Price includes certificate of authenticity and frame.
