“Can I Get in Your Bed?” – Watercolour by Christina Newson
 
Delicate and full of warmth, “Can I Get in Your Bed?” captures an intimate glimpse into nature’s quieter moments — three tiny mice nestled together within the heart of a fading sunflower. The composition balances soft vulnerability with tender connection, evoking themes of comfort, belonging, and the instinct to seek safety together.
Christina Newson’s loose yet precise watercolour technique gives this piece its charm — earthy browns and soft greens flow seamlessly into one another, creating both structure and softness. The fluid medium lends itself beautifully to the subject, suggesting movement, light, and the fragility of life itself.
Highly collectable for its narrative depth and technical control, this original work embodies Newson’s signature blend of emotional storytelling and natural observation. It sits perfectly within her growing body of work celebrating the quiet poetry found in everyday moments.
