Ghost Ferns, 12x24 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Pale mint tendrils unfurl against shadowed earth in this spectral forest vignette. Henderson lays a ground of deep olive mixed with umber, then pours a semi‑opaque jade across the center. Before the pigments fully settle, she flicks alcohol onto the wet jade; the reaction lifts circular patches, leaving negative shapes that quickly elongate into fern‑like fronds as the panel is tilted.
Fine strands of titanium white trace along each frond’s edges, catching ambient light and giving the foliage an otherworldly glow—botanical phantoms emerging from dusky undergrowth. In the periphery, soft charcoal mists drift like lingering fog, intensifying the ethereal mood. Ghost Ferns evokes that moment in twilight woodland when familiar forms turn uncanny, reminding us nature’s spirits are often sensed more than seen.
