Hitched
Original painting in Daniel Smith watercolours on heavyweight watercolour paper with added mixed media elements
A quote from John Muir "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe" is embedded in the painting.
Overall size 42x60cms.
Option 1: mounted and unframed.
Option 2: framed in a narrow silver aluminium frame (see photo below)
This original piece bursts with energy — a vibrant dance of organic shapes and sun-drenched hues. Think zesty orange, leafy green, golden yellow, and soft notes of beige and gold — like a garden dream filtered through imagination.
Delicate swirls and sketchy forms meander across the canvas, gently guiding the eye from one area to the next. Tiny hand-drawn leaves peek out here and there, like nature whispering secrets into the design.
Scattered text elements add a layer of intrigue — like fragments of thought or quiet musings caught mid-flight.
The whole piece feels alive and in motion — a joyful blend of chaos and calm, where colour and form find their rhythm in perfect harmony.
