The Witch Left Her Hat Behind
Even magic needs a place to rest.
A crooked broom stands upright, topped not with bristles alone but with a well-worn purple witch’s hat, slouched and softened by time. Small details emerge on closer look: a delicate spiderweb tucked beneath the brim, tiny mushrooms growing along the hat’s crown, and melted candles dripping green wax as if the spell was only just set aside. The broom handle bends gently, more tired than broken, wrapped with a simple blue binding that suggests care rather than restraint.
There’s a sense of pause in this piece. Not abandonment, but absence. The witch has stepped away for a moment, leaving behind the tools of her trade and the quiet hum of magic still lingering in the air. Whimsical without being cute, the painting balances charm and mystery, inviting the viewer to imagine what happens just outside the frame.
Printed as a fine art print available in 5" × 7" or 8" × 10" and matted in clean white to let the delicate watercolor details and negative space breathe.
Originally painted in watercolor on paper.
