Description
“The Rose Path”
Mixed media on canvas, portrait format
A soft, textured abstract in pale mint and luminous rose pink. Neon-pink pigment breaks through a plaster-like ground, gathering at the edges and scattering across the surface like petals worn thin by passing feet. In the upper right, a small piece of vintage-style embroidered linen, with delicate openwork and floral motifs, is set into the surface, a quiet, handcrafted focal point.
The piece moves between softness and energy: the calm of the mint ground against the vivid, almost glowing pink. Its title and mood echo the artist’s poem that inspired it, a meditation on walking slowly, letting go of fear, and becoming. The work invites quiet contemplation and rewards close viewing, with its layered, weathered texture.
Best suited to: bedrooms, living spaces, studios and meditation corners, and collectors drawn to tactile, textile-inspired, spiritual or feminine abstract art.
“The Rose Path”
You walk slowly, in no hurry,
and the petals fade beneath your feet,
shadow after shadow, whisper after whisper,
quieter than the thought of who you once were.
On this path
the thorns fall away on their own,
like your old names,
like the fear that no longer remembers
why you carried it.
You no longer fight the branch,
no longer count the blood on your palm.
The earth smells of rain,
and you give thanks.
And suddenly you feel
that you never walked anywhere,
that the path was walking through you,
leaving you only
softness, openness,
and still more faith.
On this path
you become.
Simply, quietly.
