Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on March 16, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small, intimate workspace where an abstract artwork is in progress. The center of the image is filled by a hand‑painted piece that blends watercolor softness with very fine black ink lines. The background is a wash of greens and yellows, like sunlight filtering through leaves—soft, uneven, and organic. Layered on top are intricate black ink patterns made with an extremely fine pen. The lines form spirals, waves, and looping shapes, almost like wind currents or ripples in water. The ink work is delicate and precise, giving the impression of movement flowing across the page. The overall feeling is both calm and dynamic—fluid watercolor beneath, structured ink dancing above it. At the top edge of the photo lies a Micron 003 archival ink pen, very thin and precise, the kind used for detailed linework. To the right is a Schmincke watercolor palette, open to reveal pans of yellows and greens that match the painting. A paintbrush rests across the palette, still damp, as if the artist paused mid‑stroke. The scene feels peaceful and focused—like a quiet moment in the middle of creating something intricate. The combination of tools, colors, and textures gives a sense of care, patience, and artistic exploration. Three inches by three inches.
Revisiting an idea from February 23 with a lot more squiggles. Yes, back to green.
