Lydia
A pale figure drifts quietly through the trees, her form barely separate from the mist that gathers in the forest. Painted in layered washes of soft grays, violets, and blue-tinged shadows, the scene feels hushed and suspended, as though time has slowed to accommodate her passing. Bare branches stretch overhead, framing a narrow clearing that pulls the eye gently inward.
Inspired by the legend of Lydia’s Bridge in North Carolina, the figure is suggested rather than defined. She is memory more than body, presence more than story. The watercolor’s softened edges and subtle texture allow her to glow faintly against the darkened woods, creating a sense of reverence rather than fear.
Printed as a fine art print available in 5" × 7" or 8" × 10" and matted in clean white to preserve the quiet atmosphere and delicate layering of the watercolor.
Originally painted in watercolor on paper.
