You Cannot Catch the River, Though It Makes You Think You Can

Original Mixed Media Painting by Christina Scherer
8 x 8 inches | Acrylic, Watercolor, and Caran d’Ache Water Crayons on Paper | Framed

“You Cannot Catch the River, Though It Makes You Think You Can” is an original mixed media painting from Christina Scherer’s collection I Used to Write Poetry, a series reflecting on motion, memory, and surrender. This piece is a quiet meditation on the illusion of holding on — the way beauty passes through us, how we reach for it, and how it keeps flowing all the same.

Created through Christina’s sacred 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 frequency and intention into every layer. Through this process, the piece becomes a living, resonant artwork, echoing the steady rhythm of flow and release.

Crafted with acrylic, watercolor, and Caran d’Ache water crayons on paper, its delicate transparencies ripple like water in motion, shimmering between stillness and movement. The piece is professionally framed, ready to hang.

This painting carries the frequency of surrender, grace, and acceptance, making it ideal for meditation spaces, writing rooms, or interiors designed for reflection and peace.
