Sanctuary Sands, 16" Round Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Warm, buff‑toned expanses sweep across the canvas like sun‑heated dunes protecting an oasis of stillness. Henderson pours layers of beige, camel, and palest coral in wide, lateral strokes, tilting just enough to let the pigments settle into gentle ridges—wind‑etched ripples frozen in time. A faint shimmer of pearlescent gold dusts the highest crests, catching light the way quartz grains sparkle at midday.
Nestled within these calm undulations, translucent pools of aquamarine appear where thin veils of color overlap, suggesting hidden water sources that nourish desert travelers. The juxtaposition of arid earth and life‑giving blue transforms the painting into a meditation on refuge: even the harshest landscapes cradle pockets of solace for those who slow down and look.
