Te Putake

Te Pūtāke
Original Artwork | A2 (42cm x 59.4cm)
Acrylic ink, carbon, and coloured pencil on 300gsm Fabriano watercolour paper

Rooted in the essence of earth and origin, Te Pūtāke — meaning “the root, the source, the foundation” — offers a richly layered visual meditation on where we come from and what holds us steady. This piece unfolds in warm, grounding tones: soft terracottas, clay pinks, hazy apricots, and pale creams — echoing the blush of evening sky meeting the soil.

Delicate linework weaves through the composition like threads of memory or topographic marks, drawing us inward. With its detailed gestures and expressive grounding palette, this painting invites stillness, depth, and connection — a visual anchor for any reflective space.

This artwork pairs perfectly with Where Hope Sits Quietly as a diptych.

Please note: This price is for the unframed original artwork only. Your piece will be carefully packaged in a flat cardboard envelope or rolled in a protective tube, depending on size, to ensure safe delivery. Framing is not included — but finding a ready-made or custom frame is easy through most homeware or framing stores or contact me to find out more.

If you love this piece and would prefer it as a fine art print or a larger canvas reproduction, please explore the Prints category for available options or reach out to me. I would be happy to assist.
