Medium: Charcoal, and Colored Pencil on 140 pound hot press watercolor paper
Size: 9” x 12”
Description:
Nature Girl is a softly evocative portrait that captures a contemplative, dreamlike moment in nature. The central figure—a young woman—sits curled gently into herself, her expression distant and tender as if caught in the rhythm of a forgotten memory. Rendered primarily in delicate charcoal and orange tones, her skin glows softly against the darker, textured background of tangled flora. Hints of warm orange—gracing her clothing, earrings, and the abstracted flowers—punctuate the grayscale with a whisper of life and warmth.
A butterfly, detailed in charcoal with burnt orange highlights, perches on her leg, reinforcing the feeling of gentle stillness. Her hair cascades like shadowy vines, blending with the leafy forms that both cradle and encircle her. The composition’s loose lines and intentional smudges lend it a raw intimacy, while the minimal use of color evokes a sense of nostalgia, as if this scene is suspended between memory and imagination.
The piece is poetic and introspective—an invitation into a world where quiet moments bloom gently in the dark.
