Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on April 6, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small, peaceful watercolor painting placed on a tabletop, surrounded by the tools that created it. The painting itself shows three smooth stones stacked in a vertical column, like a tiny cairn you might find on a quiet riverbank. The top stone is a bright, cool turquoise, the lightest of the three. The middle stone is a deeper, calm blue. The bottom stone is a rich violet, the darkest and widest, giving the stack a grounded feeling. Each stone is softly rounded, with gentle color transitions that make them feel almost touchable—like polished river stones warmed by sunlight. The painting sits on a pale surface, and around it is the small, intimate chaos of an artist’s workspace. To one side lies a paintbrush, its bristles slightly stained from recent use. Nearby is a watercolor palette with labeled color wells—“Cosmic Green,” “Cosmic Blue,” and “Cosmic Violet”—echoing the hues in the stones. A couple of colored pencils rest close by, one clearly labeled “FABER‑CASTELL” and is a water-soluble graphite pencil. The other is a crayola children’s pencil in the color dark brown. The overall mood is quiet and focused, as if someone has just paused mid‑creation. The scene feels tactile and close: smooth stones, soft pigments, and the gentle disorder of making something by hand. Three inches by three inches.
Life is a balance.
