If you want to see a visual representation of the words 'quiet' and 'stillness,' just take a look at UK-based artist Susan Ashworth's paintings. Her work mostly depicts scenes of tabletops or items sitting on top of surfaces--and although this subject matter has been depicted time and time again over the ages, there's something fresh + new about Ashworth's treatment of the flowers, dishes, and bottles in her paintings. I'm most drawn to the play between light + shadow in Ashworth's work, but I also adore her handling of the paint and the texture of her pieces. You can view some of my favorites below: See what I mean? Glorious! You can view more work by Susan Ashworth on her website. I hope you can find a few moments that are as quiet and contemplative as these paintings today... Comments are closed.
