"The Way Back Home" - Original Artwork
The Way Back HomeΒ is about feeling comfort and security in simple things.Β
Itβs about the quiet reassurance of familiar paths, and the kind of beauty that doesnβt demand attention. Instead, it just welcomes you in and feels familiar.
This piece was created to evoke that steady, grounding feeling of returning to what matters most. A reminder that home isnβt only a place. Itβs a sense of belonging.
This mini 7.5"x5.5" artwork is an original artwork I created as a sketch for a larger piece. This original watercolor isΒ painted on textured cold press watercolor paper made from 100% cotton, with a natural deckled edge that adds a soft, timeless feel.
This artwork is unframed. If you would like your art custom framed, please contact me before ordering.Β
This piece can be beautifully displayed in a floating glass frame, which allows the natural deckled edges of the paper to show.
Β It works well:
- on a shelf or mantel, leaned against the wall
- on a bedside table or dresser
- layered with other pieces in a small gallery wall
- on a desk or entry table where youβll see it often
Small pieces like this donβt need a lot of space. Theyβre meant to be lived with and enjoyed in the places you pass by every day.
General Art Size Guides:
1. If you're unsure, bigger is usually better (size up).
2. The center of your art should be around 56" high.
3. Hang your art 4β8" above your furniture/apartment.
4. Art should take up roughly 2/3 to 3/4 of the space above your furniture (sofa, mantel, entryway etc).
5. If youβre centering on a wall, always go with the largest size for that wall.

How to hang framed canvases:
1. Framed canvases arrive ready to hang. Use the small ledge between the wooden frame and the canvas. They are designed to hang flush against the wall if you choose this method.
2. Alternatively, you can also use a wire hanging kit. I have created detailed instructions for how to do this here.
Saw tooth hangers are not recommended.
How to hang unframed prints:
For unframed canvas prints use a wire hanging kit.
