A calm neutral abstract painting inspired by weathered plaster, soft stone, and the gentle tones of aged surfaces. Soft Ground blends layers of chalk white, putty, warm beige and pale clay — creating quiet texture and depth reminiscent of natural earth and light.
Richly layered with palette knife detail, this piece adds warmth and subtle movement to calm, neutral interiors. Designed to complement Neptune-inspired spaces, it pairs beautifully with chalky walls, linen upholstery, and pale oak furniture, bringing a soft, grounded presence to any room.
Framed with a double mount in a pale wood frame, this artwork feels refined yet natural — ready to hang in living areas, bedrooms, or quiet corners that invite stillness.
