Learning to Stay – Original Mixed Media Artwork

Learning to Stay is an original 5 × 7 mixed-media artwork created on watercolor paper using cyanotype and gold paint. A vertical botanical form rises through a field of deep blue, its soft silhouette preserved through light and time, while delicate gold accents trace moments of growth and persistence.
This piece reflects quiet endurance—how something continues, slowly and deliberately, even when conditions shift. The layered blues, softened edges, and subtle metallic details give the work a contemplative, grounding presence.
