'Eight', is a 24"x 36" acrylic on canvas, showcasing one of the most magical ages of childhood. This work embodies the raw innocence and curiosity of an eight year old as well as the total transformation into their unique self. The composition is characterized by overlapping colors and textures of soft greens, blues and deep purples, with bright white occasionally creeping across the canvas. These muted tones suggest a world of imagination and gentle exploration, not harsh or forced but organic and original. Erratic lines travel across the painting as expressive brushstrokes and swirling lines implying a sense of uninhibited curiosity and adventure and boundless energy as well as a discovery of self. The delicate, swirling strands of color on the side of the painting suggest childlike scribbles and doodles- spontaneous expression and freedom while unexpected, more bold florals speak to unforeseen growth and resilience-both physically and emotionally. 
 
All M. Merritt Collection prints are produced by a local printing studio in South Carolina, which provides superior fine art printing, widely known as giclee printing. Giclee printing is a sophisticated digital printing process specifically designed for fine art reproduction. The result is a print where millions of microscopic ink droplets are precisely sprayed onto the chosen medium, creating an image with exceptional detail, rich color saturation, and a remarkable likeness to the original artwork. 
 
Archival paper is the most popular medium for these giclee prints. Known for their long-lasting durability that can withstand the elements and deterioration, these paper materials are typically acid- or lignin-free. The giclee printing paper typically comes in archival and canvas categories. 
 
All prints will be hand signed.
