Still overcast and snowy. I do see the sun trying to peek out of the clouds. That's the mood I was trying to capture.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 13, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small square sheet of paper on a tabletop, and centered on it is a vibrant, circular piece of art—almost like a cross‑section of a fantastical plant or a microscopic world made visible. The circle is filled with many layers of patterns that radiate outward. The innermost area is a cluster of tiny, delicate shapes—dots, short lines, and petal‑like marks—drawn with great precision. Surrounding that are rings of repeating motifs: some look like seeds, some like leaves, some like tiny cells. The colors are warm and energetic: reds, yellows, soft grays, and deep blacks. Each layer feels alive, as if it’s pulsing or growing. The overall effect is intricate and organic—like a mandala built from botanical and biological forms. Around the artwork, you can see the tools used to create it. On the left is a very fine Micron pen, the kind used for detailed linework. Nearby are two paint markers—one bright red, one sunny yellow. Off to the right sits a watercolor palette with a red‑handled brush resting on it, suggesting the artist blended both ink and paint to build this layered, textured design. The scene feels intimate and creative, as if you’ve caught the artist in the middle of a joyful, meditative process. Three inches by three inches.

I was in a "mood" today. It's gray and snowing and I wanted to capture the mood of the scene outside my window.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 12, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small, square piece of watercolor paper holding an abstract circular painting. The artwork feels intimate and the circle sits centered on the page like a tiny universe. The circle is made of layered watercolor washes in soft grays, inky blacks, and a deep, warm red. The colors bleed and mingle in that fluid, unpredictable way watercolor loves—some areas cloudy and soft, others darker and more defined. Over the painted circle, someone has drawn fine white lines and tiny white dots. These marks feel almost celestial—like constellations, or delicate threads of light stitched across the surface. The white ink sits on top of the watercolor, giving the piece a textured, mixed‑media feel. The painting is surrounded by the tools that created it, giving the sense of an artist mid‑process: On the left is a white gel pen, the kind used for crisp, opaque highlights. Next to it lies a red paint marker, its cap showing a bright red color code. On the right is a watercolor palette filled with wells of black and gray paint. A red‑handled paintbrush rests across the palette, still stained with dark pigment. The palette shows splatters and mixing marks—evidence of recent, lively use. The whole scene feels like a quiet moment in an artist’s workspace—intimate, focused, and tactile. The combination of soft watercolor, bold red, and delicate white linework gives the artwork a sense of depth and quiet energy, as if something is gently pulsing inside that painted circle. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 11, 2026. All rights reserved. You’re looking at a small, vibrant piece of abstract art laid out on a tabletop, surrounded by the tools that created it. At the center is a circular, mandala‑like design built from many thin, delicate pen lines. These lines form rings of tiny repeating shapes—little scallops, dots, and loops—that radiate outward like ripples in water. The colors are warm and joyful: Pinks, oranges, and yellows blend together in soft watercolor washes. Purples appear as both accents inside the circle and as dozens of tiny dots scattered around the outside, like floating bubbles or pollen drifting in the air. The overall effect is playful, rhythmic, and almost musical—like watching color dance. Above the artwork lies a very fine black pen, the kind used for precise line work. To the right sits a watercolor palette, its wells filled with dried pools of color—reds, blues, greens, yellows—evidence of recent mixing. A red‑handled paintbrush rests across the palette, still slightly stained with pigment. The scene feels intimate and creative, as if you’ve just stepped into the middle of someone’s joyful art‑making moment. It’s bright, detailed, and full of gentle energy. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 10, 2026. All rights reserved. At the center of this abstract watercolor is an intricate ink drawing that feels almost alive—like a tiny universe or a microscopic creature captured in motion. Imagine a cluster of delicate black lines, each as thin as a strand of hair, radiating outward in all directions. They ripple and curl like the tendrils of a sea anemone or the branching veins of a leaf. These lines form an organic, almost breathing shape—neither plant nor animal, but something that suggests both. Inside this shape, the artist has filled the space with tiny textures: spirals, dots, loops, and curved pathways. It feels like a map of a dream-organism, full of hidden chambers and soft rhythms. Behind the ink work, watercolor washes spread in gentle gradients. The outer background is a cool blend of purples and blues—soft, cloudy, and slightly uneven, like dusk light settling over a landscape. Closer to the center, the colors shift to pale pinks and light blues, giving the impression of something glowing from within. Around the artwork, you can sense the tools of its making: At the top lies a very fine black ink pen, the kind used for precise, delicate linework. To the right, a small paintbrush rests across a watercolor palette dotted with dried pools of color—greens, blues, purples, reds—evidence of the mixing and experimenting that shaped the piece. The overall feeling is intimate and meditative. It’s the kind of artwork that invites you to lean in, trace its patterns with your fingertips, and imagine the quiet focus of the person who made it. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 9, 2026. All rights reserved. The image shows a small workspace where someone has been making art. At the center is a circular abstract design—almost like a sun or a blooming flower—made with both watercolor paint and very fine black ink lines. The middle of the circle is dense with tiny, precise ink marks that look like delicate ripples or rings. As the rings expand outward, the lines become looser and more textured, giving the sense of movement or gentle vibration. Surrounding the ink work is a wash of warm watercolor tones—soft pinks, glowing oranges, and golden yellows. The colors blend into one another like a sunrise spreading across paper. Above the artwork lies a thin black pen, the kind used for detailed drawing. To the right sits a watercolor palette filled with small wells of paint in the same warm colors, and a paintbrush rests across it, still damp as if the artist just set it down. The overall feeling is warm, bright, and meditative—an intimate moment of creativity captured mid‑process. A paintbrush rests diagonally across the palette, still damp, suggesting the artist is mid-creation. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 8, 2026. All rights reserved. Description of the Image: You’re looking at a small, vibrant piece of art in progress, resting on a sheet of white paper. The artwork itself is split into two distinct halves, almost like two moods sitting side by side. Left Side of the Painting: Three vertical watercolor stripes run from top to bottom. The colors move from warm orange to deep red to soft pink. Thin, delicate black dotted lines separate each stripe, giving them a tidy, intentional structure. Right Side of the Painting: This half feels looser and more expressive. It’s filled with swirling oranges, reds, and yellows—like heat or movement. Scattered across the color are small black ink doodles and geometric marks: little shapes, lines, and symbols that add texture and playfulness. Surrounding the Artwork: Above the painting lies a fine-tipped Micron 005 archival ink pen, the kind used for precise line work. To the right sits a watercolor palette loaded with warm pigments—yellows, oranges, reds. A paintbrush rests diagonally across the palette, still damp, suggesting the artist is mid-creation. The whole scene feels intimate and creative, like a quiet moment at a desk where someone is experimenting with color, structure, and spontaneous marks. It carries the warmth of handmade work and the joy of exploring materials. Three inches by three inches.

Art and photo by Katherine Gingrich on February 7, 2026. All rights reserved. Abstract multi-color watercolor. The picture shows a small square piece of paper with a delicate abstract artwork on it. The art is made with soft watercolor washes and very fine black ink lines. The colors are gentle and airy—pale yellow, light blue, soft green, and touches of warm brown—blending into one another like drifting clouds or flowing water. Over these colors, thin black ink lines create swirling shapes, spirals, and tiny decorative marks. The lines feel playful and organic, almost like the patterns you might find in nature—ripples, tendrils, or seeds. The whole piece has a calm, meditative quality. Above the artwork lies a very thin black pen, the kind used for precise drawing. To the right is a watercolor palette with many small wells of color, some mixed and muddied from use. A red‑handled paintbrush rests across the palette, suggesting the artist has just paused mid‑creation. The overall feeling is intimate and handmade—like catching a quiet moment in someone’s creative process. Three inches by three inches.

It's been an unsettling year. You may feel like there's nothing you can do to help. But, there is. You can be kind. You can shop local. You can chose to lower your carbon imprint. You can take back your happiness. You can be a better person. You can make a difference.

Peace, love, and happiness.
