"The One Who Ran From Roots" – Original 11x14 Acrylic Painting

Soft as a whisper and glowing with pastel magic, The One Who Ran From Roots is an 11" x 14" acrylic painting inspired by a fleeting glimpse in the woods—a tiny tree just beginning to grow, shaped like it was mid-sprint.

In chalky hues of blush pink, soft lavender, pale mint, and baby sky blue, this painting tells the story of a tree spirit born too curious to stay still. She broke through the forest floor not just to grow—but to run. To explore. To see the world beyond her roots.

Her form blurs into motion, like wind catching leaves, her limbs delicate yet wild. She carries the energy of spring’s first bloom and a spirit untethered by expectation.
