Perfect for the Time Being
“Perfect for the Time Being” is a moody and expressive floral painting that captures the fleeting beauty of roses and peonies in bloom. Award-winning artist Shakia Harris uses loose, layered brushwork and rich texture to create a composition that feels both emotionally raw and deeply calming.
Soft blush pinks, creamy whites, dusty mauves, and warm earthy browns emerge against a dramatic, deep blue background.
I enjoy deconstructing layers to emphasize the beauty in imperfection. I use many different tools and techniques to make the flowers appear as if they're dissolving across the surface.
This piece is meant to feel romantic yet grounded. "Perfect For The Time Being" is bold enough to make a statement while still maintaining a softness that works beautifully in many different spaces.
