Yearning, abstract watercolor by Amy Crook

Yearning, abstract watercolor by Amy Crook

Yearning might actually be my favorite piece out of April’s Floating Gallery. Everything about it is subtle, delicate, and incredibly hard to convey with photos and pixels, but I love it anyway. There’s just something about the two shapes and the way they strain to cross the void, sending out waves of yearning like a corona surrounding the core.

What are you longing for, in your silent, secret heart?

Above, you can see the upper left corner, turned to catch the sunlight and reveal the hidden treasures of color and light in its depths. Below, we have the lower right, cooler and more congruent but still sending those secret tendrils outward.

And finally, the piece in a frame, showing off the depth of texture in the paper, and hanging out with my iPhone for size comparison.
