Botanic Reverie 2 is an intimate exploration of bloom colour motion. A contemporary botanical abstraction rendered entirely in museum-quality watercolour pencil on premium archival 100% cotton hot press paper. This artwork draws the viewer into a world of organic bliss, diffused light, and flowing forms. Layers of hand-burnished pigment create a velvety, dreamlike surface that shifts between realism and abstraction. The palette of rose, plum, violet, and muted greys has been intentionally crafted to complement contemporary aesthetics while offering a sense of quiet emotional depth. Created using meticulous hours and layers of archival materials, this piece is a collectible original designed to last for generations. Artwork mounted, framed in oak and hang ready.
