Fragile

"Fragile" is a delicate and serene original painting by Tara Verkuil, capturing the quiet beauty of blossoms through a modern abstract lens. This 40" W x 30" H piece is part of Tara’s "Just Breathe" series, where she explores floral and nature-based abstraction to create moments of reflection and calm.

Set against a soft white and cream background, "Fragile" features three textured blossoms—two in soft pink and one in gentle yellow. The subtle layers of paint and expressive brushstrokes create a sense of depth and movement, while the neutral tones provide a tranquil foundation for the vibrant blooms.

Crafted with a rich mix of materials—acrylic, ink, spray paint, gouache, and graphite—this painting offers layers of visual and tactile intrigue. The loose, expressive marks blend fluid washes with bolder strokes, reflecting Tara’s intuitive approach to artistic expression.

The soft, airy quality of the piece allows for multiple interpretations, inviting viewers to wander through the layers and discover new details with each glance. The combination of delicate florals with modern abstraction makes "Fragile" a versatile and harmonious addition to any space.
