Abstract sumi e painting Original, Zen style, with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

In the uncertain hour before the morning

Near the ending of the interminable night…

“Little Gidding’ - T. S. Eliot 181S

The painting seems to evoke that tentative time of awakening when your thoughts are unrested - and yet one may find a peacefulness even there - if you stay present and observe. Stop thinking so much!

These paintings are each unique art works. Imperfections are to be expected and are the hallmark of original art and the artist's hand, true wabi sabi. Sizes of original mulberry paper painting may vary, each approximately 14” x 18” - mat size is 18” x 22”. Each comes with its own Certificate of Authentication, packaged in a clear sleeve.
