The minimal simplicity of the pussywillow branch with its tiny white nubs has a modern, timeless look when used in home decor. Pussywillow is often one of the first botanicals to emerge at the end of winter and symbolizes rebirth, hope, and safety. In this painting, the watercolor is in a supporting role, and the emphasis on the ink invites the viewer’s gaze to follow the lines of the branch and linger on the delicate, furry texture of the catkins. Adding calming elegance to any setting, this piece would enhance a wide range of decor styles.
