“Postscript #1” — Original Mixed Media Painting

Postscript, an expressive mixed media original painting inspired by the lyrical beauty of Seamus Heaney’s poem of the same name. Flecks of vivid color—pinks, blues, greens, and bursts of yellow—merge in an abstract floral arrangement that evokes both movement and stillness, much like the coastal skies and sudden emotion Heaney describes.

Subtle layers of handwritten text appear within the composition, embedding selected quotes from Postscript that invite the viewer to pause and reflect.

Whether hung in a quiet reading nook or a dynamic living space, Postscript serves as a visual meditation—a reminder, in Heaney’s words, that sometimes we are “caught off guard and blown open,” by the nature and landscapes that surround us.
