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.
 
This was one of the first paintings in the collection to be created, and is heavily influenced by the decorative cherry tree blooms that appear in early May each year. While only present for a brief moment, these abundant blossoms are a defining characteristic of early spring in the Northeast. The blooms are visible from my bedroom window, and I have many fond memories of gazing out at the tops of the trees with my two young sons.
 
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 is painted on gallery wrapped canvas with painted edges, and comes ready to hang with picture wire and crisp white ¼” custom trim.
