Crocus, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Henderson captures the very first bloom of the year in Crocus, where tender lilacs push through cool celadon like flowers piercing late-winter snow. She pours a base of icy white tinted with the faintest gray, then drizzles diluted violet in concentric arcs that fan outward as the panel is lightly tapped. The motion creates ragged, petal-like points edged by tiny jade cells—new growth still carrying traces of frost.
A secondary pour of warm butter-yellow seeps up through the purple folds, echoing the crocus’s golden throat and generating a soft inner glow. By allowing that glow to remain partially veiled under translucent layers, the artist reminds us of resilience: the bloom’s warmth is felt before fully seen. The piece speaks to perseverance and gentle bravery—hope germinating beneath a cold surface, ready to color the world.
