The Language of Care Six paintings and six prints, gathered for Mother’s Day—a quiet offering of beauty, presence, and love.

There are moments we return to—not grand occasions, but small rituals we’ve carried for years. A quiet cup of tea. A morning in soft light. A gesture of care, repeated without announcement.

This collection was created with those moments in mind.

Each painting and print here is an offering—an echo of presence, warmth, and attention. Some are new. Some haven’t been seen in a long time. All are shared now as part of a small, heartfelt show for Mother’s Day.

Original Paintings

Each of these small works is a one-of-a-kind gesture—made slowly, with presence, and chosen here with care.

Handmade Teacup Against Violet
Acrylic on wood • 3×3 inches / 8×8 cm • Sold

A tiny painting, quietly poised. A handmade Asian teacup—graceful in its simplicity—rests on a fragment of worn oriental rug, the background draped in violet cloth. The space is bare but suggestive: a moment remembered, a gesture of calm, a hush between sips.

Getting a Handle on Things
Acrylic on wood • 3×3 inches / 8×8 cm • $275

A soft puzzle in porcelain and shadow.  This tiny painting plays with reflection and form—where the handle begins, where it ends, how light finds its way through. The mood is cool and balanced, quiet but alert. A small work, made with great attention.

Gold-Trimmed Teacup and Blue Silk Brocade
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • Sold

A teacup poised like jewelry—its delicate gold rim catching soft light. Beneath it, a pool of deep blue silk brocade, rich with pattern and shadow. This painting holds stillness in tension: refinement and quiet, curve and contrast, richness and restraint.

Study in Silence with Silver Creamer
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750

A cool arrangement of light and line.  The silver creamer reflects just enough of its surroundings to feel alive, while the rest of the space stays hushed. The composition is direct, but the mood is meditative—an invitation to look a little longer, and find quiet in the edges.

Study in Silence with Etched Glass
Oil on panel • 5×5 inches / 12×12 cm • $750

Glass etched with a quiet hand, resting on brocaded cloth.
The surface offers no drama—just balance, texture, and a still kind of clarity. This painting doesn’t announce itself. It waits, offering quiet rewards to anyone who lingers.

Tea with Green Velvet
Oil on linen on panel • 6×8 inches / 15×20 cm • $1,250

A richly ornamented teapot anchors the scene—deep, earthen, radiant in the light. A lemon and a length of green velvet gather in shadow, balancing the warmth. This is a painting of understated ceremony, composed with reverence and glow.

Prints

Each of these prints is drawn from a moment of stillness—where ordinary objects caught the light just so, and a small scene revealed itself.

These are gentle, enduring images. Thoughtfully reproduced on fine paper or canvas, they offer a way to bring beauty and presence into your space—or to pass that gift along to someone else.

Glass Creamer and Lemon Slices • from $36

Glass, lemon, violet cloth—and yet none of that is really the point. What lingers is the stillness they hold between them, the way the space feels settled, as if nothing needs to move to be fully alive. It’s a quiet that stays with you.

Silver Cup and Clementine Orange • from $36

Hard and soft, brightness and shadow—held together in a quiet kind of balance. Sometimes, harmony whispers more than it sings.

Teacup with Oriental Rug XIII • from $36

There’s ceremony even in the smallest gestures. A cup set down with care, a moment of quiet held just a little longer than needed.

Silver, Plum, Purple Silk • from $36

Everything falls silent for a moment. Light sharpens. Time slows. In the hush, what’s essential steps forward.

Teacup, Green Napkin, Striped Cloth • from $36

Grace wears many colors. Even quiet things can shimmer, bold and vivid, when the light is just right.

Vase and Blue Ribbon • from $36

A simple vessel, bound in blue—like a whisper tied around a memory. It says little, but it holds much.
