Vivid Star of Christmas – Watercolor on Paper

This piece centers on the striking geometry of a single red poinsettia bloom, rendered in sharp detail to represent the boldness and clarity of the present moment. In contrast, the Christmas tree in the background is painted with a soft focus. This juxtaposition suggests that while the traditions and lights of the season are always present in the periphery, it is the vivid reality of the "now" that takes center stage.
