Zen Abstract Ink Painting “Who Would Have Thought” by Marilyn Wells Original

Zen Abstract Ink Painting Original, sumi e style, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

“Who would have thought my shriveled heart
Could have recovered greenness? It was gone
         Quite underground; as flowers depart
To see their mother-root, when they have blown,
                      Where they together
                      All the hard weather,
         Dead to the world, keep house unknown.”

  -George Herbert “The Flower” 1829-2S

mat size is 18” x 22”

Have you known of a love that comes later in life and surprises you with newness and fresh greenness? Ah! Yes?  

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”. Each comes with its own Certificate of Authentication, packaged in a clear sleeve.

If you select the Framed Option, the frame is a clean, modern, charcoal black finish, my personal choice, with a UV acrylic protective cover.

I’m happy to send more photos and details upon request.

Prints also available.
