Roots from the First

12x9x0.7" Original mixed media on 140lbs cold pressed watercolor paper, mounted onto cradled wood panel.

Small, but heavy.

The deepest blues gather at the bottom of this painting, layered and murky, the color of being in over your head. When things are hard, it’s easy to sink into that feeling and stay there.

But the painting doesn’t end in the dark. The weight thins as it climbs, into pale turquoise and open white, and at the top, warm pink and gold break through, untangling as you rise.

Rising above it all doesn’t mean the depths weren’t real.

It means you didn’t stay there.

Please note- This is one of my more textured pieces in this collection. While giclee prints do show texture, and the high quality paper will have some as well, the look will not be identical to the original.

The fine print:

Purchase options include the original painting, one of one, wired for hanging and finished with a gold rim. The back is signed, with the name of the piece, year and collection. 

Prints are offered in two sizes, a 8x10 full color, high quality archival giclee print on textured watercolor paper, unsigned, or a larger sized premium archival giclee print 11x14 option, which will be a numbered and signed collectors edition. Larger prints will be limited to a 10 piece run.

Prints will be shipped flat for safety within 2-4 weeks of order date, packed carefully in rigid mailers.

Shipping or delivery rates for original artwork will be determined on your location. Please reach out after purchasing to discuss this with me! Local pickup in Houston is also available.
