 This painting is the first in a planned series on art in nature, with a particular emphasis on moss and lichen on stone - organic structures that have grown in secret, layer upon layer, over years and centuries. Perhaps you will get a sense of the preciousness in what is often overlooked?

 There are no clear boundaries here, only fluid transitions between light and dark, between what is and what was. The painting invites the viewer to read between the lines – in what has been, and in what is still growing.
