Windflower of the Unseen – Original Abstract Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Erin McGrath Rieke
About this Artwork
Windflower of the Unseen is an original 16x20-inch abstract acrylic painting on canvas created in 2011 by Erin McGrath Rieke as part of her Zen Series. This contemplative piece reflects the quiet resilience and inner calm discovered through meditative exploration of soft purples and gentle layered brushwork.
Inspired by the anemone, often called the “windflower,” and the myth of Pandora, the painting embodies hope that persists even in moments of profound loss or emptiness. Its subtle textures and layered movements invite the viewer into a space of stillness, encouraging reflection on the unseen forces that hold their own quiet power. The piece celebrates the fragile beauty of renewal, patience, and the gentle emergence of healing.
With its serene palette and abstract composition, Windflower of the Unseen is both visually soothing and emotionally evocative, making it an ideal addition to contemporary collections that value meditative, introspective, and symbolic abstract art.
