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 piece considers spring blooms and the roots that they grow from. As the daughter of a landscape painter, I have many fond memories of my mother painting as I was growing up. The environment we grow in affects us profoundly, and today I take great pride in the lessons my mother’s painting has taught me over the years. This painting was created as my mother and I sat quietly next to one another in the shadeline at the edge of a field on a hot summer day, each hard at work capturing the landscape in our own language. 
 
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.
