Natural Forms of Time Management: Inspired by a White Oak, by Nadia Daniels-Moehle. 2018. Gouache, watercolor, and acrylic on paper.

Today’s piece was inspired by a leafy microcosm. The fall hues of golds, oranges, browns; the shifting light shining through; the intricacy of so much transition.

Reminiscent of my childhood, I stuffed my pockets with acorn caps and leaves as I walked home. And as I walked home, I wondered how I could affix the foraged beauty to something. Eyes melded with acorn caps, and instead of making a Halloween pie, I painted leaves.
