Frosted Glass c. 1937

Edward White gave us this 'Frosted Glass' watercolor, and its all about how he sees. The brushstrokes here are so gentle, like a whisper of color, building up this vase. I love how art-making is a process of seeing, feeling, and then finding a way to show it all to the world. Look at how White layers the colors – the whites and grays of the vase have this milky, almost translucent quality. The reds of the flowers pop against it, but even those are softened, like they're seen through a haze. Notice how the details are minimal, almost as if the image is emerging from a dream. It’s not about perfection; it’s about capturing a moment, a feeling. This piece reminds me a little of some of Giorgio Morandi's still life paintings, with its quiet contemplation of everyday objects. Both artists find beauty in the simple, the overlooked. What does it make you think of? Art's all about asking questions, not giving answers.
