The Old Pond Observing the Toad

Original Abstract Painting by Christina Scherer
16 x 20 inches | Acrylic and Ink on Hand-Stretched Canvas

“The Old Pond Observing the Toad” is an original abstract painting from Christina Scherer’s collection I Used to Write Poetry, a series that captures moments of stillness as living energy. This piece meditates on perception itself—the act of witnessing life in its simplest, most poetic form. Like water watching the creature that once stirred it, it embodies humor, presence, and quiet awareness.

Created through Christina’s signature ritual process, the artwork is infused with the tones of crystal singing bowls, tuning forks, and prayer. The water used in the paint was blessed and sung over, embedding vibration and intention into pigment. Through this process, the painting becomes a living, resonant artwork, holding the tranquil frequency of observation and acceptance.

Crafted with acrylic and ink on hand-stretched cotton canvas, its surface balances fluid movement and still reflection, echoing ripples across a silent pond. Finished with archival varnish for protection and longevity.

This piece carries the frequency of mindfulness, humor, and grounded peace, making it ideal for meditation spaces, study areas, or interiors that celebrate the quiet joy of being.
