Reshamim | Shahar

Reshamim | Shahar includes a selection of plant drawings accompanied by poems about personal growth. Most of the paintings in the book were painted in the studio from observation, from plants that were harvested and collected while wandering and hiking in nature, fields, forests and orchards in the artist’s living environment in the village Kfar Sirkin, to garden plants. The paintings were formed out of the admiration of the spirit and the need to express the beauty revealed in every detail in the act of creation, the development of the ability to observe and to express it in drawing and painting, with watercolors, ink and pencils.
The poems were written over many years along life’s journey, in wanderings and walks where the feet tread, the eyes observe and the spirit wanders and finds its way back to the attentive heart, in form and words, as if by itself.
