Mason Hollis painted a short, knotted twig holding seven fan-shaped ginkgo leaves, each one a loose wash of olive, slate blue and soft peach that blooms out to a ragged edge. Fine ink lines trace the veins and stem, and a few leaves let their color run down the paper in long, thin drips.
This ginkgo branch watercolor painting is made in his splash style: wet pigment left to spread, flecks of paint scattered off the brush, plenty of bare white paper around it. The result is quiet, unfussy canvas wall art with a light, pastel wall art palette that never feels sugary.
It suits anyone who likes botanical work with a little looseness to it, or who wants calm wall art that reads as zen wall art without leaning on obvious symbols. Fans of sage green wall art will find the muted greens easy to pair with linen, wood and stone.
Hang it as above bed wall art in a master bedroom wall art spot, where the soft tones help settle the room at night. It also works as calming bedroom wall art in a guest room, a reading corner or a hallway that needs a gentle pause.
