Original artwork description:

Title: Have Gratitude
Size: 18 x 24 inches
Medium: Acrylic stone-finish plaster on paper (unframed)
Series: Roof Series

Have Gratitude is a contemplative exploration of form, texture, and memory—part of the artist’s Roof Series, which draws inspiration from the quiet geometries of everyday architecture. Through a layered application of acrylic and stone-finish plaster, the piece evokes the tactile presence of weathered rooftops and textured facades.

Warm earth tones—brown, yellow , beige, and off-white—anchor the composition, while cool white and soft black accents introduce a quiet contrast. This balance between warmth and coolness, solidity and air, mirrors the duality of the built environment: both shelter and openness, permanence and change.

The work invites viewers into a reflective space—one that honors both the physicality of place and the emotional resonance it holds. In its title, Have Gratitude, the piece gestures toward mindfulness, appreciation, and the beauty found in the overlooked details of daily life.
