James and Clare

James and Clare

Shadows cradle childhood’s tender woe,
Soft hues whisper the weight of a fleeting tear.
A moment frozen in watercolor’s glow,
Where silence speaks louder than we hear.

This watercolour on paper showcases a delicate realism, emphasizing soft transitions of light and shadow. Loose brushstrokes capture the innocence of the children, with warm and cool tones blending seamlessly. The composition employs a minimalistic background to focus on the figures, enhancing the emotional resonance of the scene. The medium’s transparency adds depth and an ethereal quality to this intimate portrayal.

Clare is the artist’s daughter and James is her cousin
