Detailed Description

Rooted Flame, measuring 15 inches wide and 22.5 inches high, is a compelling watercolor piece executed on 140-pound paper. The artwork portrays an intricately textured tree, with tendrils of autumnal foliage weaving through the trunk. The flow of the paints creates a dynamic sense of movement, hinting at the hidden vivacity within stillness. Swirling, muted tones of gray, blue, and earthy reds offer a harmonious blend that evokes the serenity of a quiet forest. This watercolor invites the viewer into its subtle depths, merging the organic forms with an almost ethereal quality.

Style & Reminiscence

The graceful fluidity found in Rooted Flame is reminiscent of the work of modern watercolor masters who capture the delicate interplay between light, color, and texture. This composition shares a spiritual connection with artists like John Singer Sargent, who embraced the natural elegance of watercolor. The petal-like fluidity also aligns with Georgia O'Keeffe's organic abstraction. Claude Monet's impressionistic touch parallels in the gentle merging of colors and forms, creating a meditative atmosphere.
