Winter's Edge

Step into a quiet blue forest where bare trees rise through soft mist. A strip of mossy green marks the bank, a quiet reminder that life waits beneath the cold. Torn pieces of handmade and watercolor-layered paper form a rocky shoreline. Mottled blacks, soft grays, and speckled surfaces add depth and texture. Beyond the rocks, a pool of turquoise water holds the faint reflections of the trees above. Placed on a desk or shelf, this small piece offers a daily pause--a moment of stillness, a reminder to slow down, and a window into winter's peace when the day feels loud.
