“The Beauty in Fading” – Watercolour by Christina Newson
 
Gentle and reflective, “The Beauty in Fading” explores the quiet grace found in life’s natural cycles — the moment when vibrant blooms soften, their colours deepening into something even more tender.
Painted in expressive washes of violet, rose, and gold, the piece captures the elegance of imperfection and the poetry of change. The loose watercolour style allows the pigments to merge and flow freely, symbolising the inevitable passage of time and the unexpected beauty it brings.
Both evocative and comforting, this painting invites stillness and contemplation — a reminder that even as things fade, they leave behind colour, memory, and meaning.
