Can’t Seem to Hold You Like I Want To

Original Abstract Painting by Christina Scherer
18 x 24 inches | Acrylic and Ink on Hand-Stretched Canvas

“Can’t Seem to Hold You Like I Want To” is an original abstract painting from Christina Scherer’s collection I Used to Write Poetry, a series born from the space between longing and release. This piece captures the tension of love in motion—the tenderness of what slips through our hands and the beauty of what remains in its wake.

Created through Christina’s sacred, meditative process, each layer 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 frequency and intention into pigment. Through this alchemy, the painting becomes a living, resonant artwork, carrying the energy of love’s persistence, even in its letting go.

Crafted with acrylic and ink on hand-stretched cotton canvas, the surface shimmers with translucent depth and quiet motion, like breath brushing against memory. Finished with archival varnish for protection and longevity.

This painting holds the frequency of yearning, grace, and acceptance, making it a deeply emotional addition to meditation spaces, bedrooms, or interiors where reflection and tenderness live side by side.
