To Bloom Despite It All

Original Art by Amelia Leonards

To bloom is to awaken to the sun, air, and sky that’s been beckoning while you were hiding beneath the earth. The warmth of spring doesn’t just coax you into life, it transforms you in the most unexpected ways. And why not? Nothing in nature is static, it is always moving, always changing, always evolving. Snow to sun, seed to petal, death to life- even something as magical as fish to flower. Let the season transform you.

No, I did NOT resist adding gold shimmer to my fish. How *could* I? She is watercolor and gold shimmer on cotton 140lb paper, and she’s much more fabulous than any photo can really show.

It happened again. I framed a piece. Do I have a photo of it!? NEGATIVE. Long story! But it WILL be framed exactly like the wren I sold in December, which is why the photo of that piece looking all fancy is included in this listing.

The size of the original itself is 5″x5″, and the frame is 7″x7″, and betta fish are MUCH braver than birds, I’m sure she’ll make it through the mail just fine.
