Twelve Months of Wa-Modern Abstraction カレンダー

A 12-month wall calendar featuring original abstract paintings in watercolor and opaque gouache, each distilled from a small seasonal sensation of Japan. Each month captures a different moment — a rust-orange disc veiled by frost glazes at the year’s first light (January), cream ovals drifting on a moss-green channel like cherry petals on slow water (April), crisp gouache circles tumbling through a rainy grey-olive wash (June), and rust-and-ochre vertical bands shimmering with summer heat (August). Every painting is rendered in watercolor and opaque gouache on textured paper, with loose wet-in-wet washes in the background and tight, crisp opaque forms in front — a muted earthy palette of sandy ochre, olive, moss green, and rust orange, each month accented by a single saturated color note. Quiet, contemplative, and rooted in the Japanese sense of ma (間), the meaningful interval.
