Plants in the Portal, Bluebells
$1,618.00
"Bluebells," by Ken Kammal, is a 20" x 16" acrylic painting that captures the gentle elegance and symbolism of this beloved wildflower. Representing gratitude, humility, and everlasting love, bluebells are often seen as messengers of the unseen—quiet reminders of grace and presence in fleeting moments. Completed in 2024, this piece is part of Kammal’s Plants in a Portal collection, which explores how natural elements reflect deeper spiritual truths.
The painting is framed in a 3-inch wide gold-painted wooden frame with a raised and rounded top edge, crafted from solid wood composition and coated with gesso for a flawless, refined finish. The frame enhances the quiet beauty of the work, offering an experience both meditative and emotionally resonant.
