Two hands emerge from a decorative blue and white porcelain vessel, grasping at wilting lettuce leaves and withered botanicals rendered in muted greens and tans. The composition sits centered against a warm peachy ground, with the text "I'VE TRIED MY BEST" lettered above in a matter-of-fact serif font, creating a wry commentary on effort and imperfection through delicate line work and restrained watercolor. At home in a workspace, kitchen, or anywhere resilience and humor are welcome. Gallery-wrapped on a wooden stretcher and made to order, ready to hang straight from the box.
