Close Up and Far Away

About the work

Close Up and Far Away was painted as a meditation on beauty and fragility. The flowers, vivid and alive in the foreground, stand against a dark, receding landscape where distant trees fade into shadow. For me, it suggests how even the most radiant moments carry a trace of impermanence—color and life set against the quiet pull of time. Watercolor on Arches 300 Lb cold pressed paper 26" x 34" 2025
