But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, \"Do it again\" to the sun; and every evening, \"Do it again\" to the moon.

As the trees started budding, the pieces exploded in color and blooms. The collection is inspired by vintage botanical studies and explores color, pattern, and layering. As I slowed down to paint the intricacies of each flower or stem, I delighted in how each leaf, petal, or stripe is bound by the innate characteristics that make them what they are and yet still inextricably unique. I discovered a sense of play out of the repetition, just as each poppy grows to be a poppy and yet its own. I imagine these soft pieces lining a hallway or in a nursery, in the spaces where little feet grow and begin to walk, playing and finding their voice, just as the flowers of the field.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse Discount Code ‘LOCAL’ at checkout if you plan to pick up at Cottage Grove to avoid shipping costs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-07-31T10:00:27-04:00","created_at":"2025-06-11T11:50:52-04:00","vendor":"The Campbell Collective","type":"Art","tags":["abstract","Greenville","Greenville Art Gallery","Greenville SC art gallery","Landscape","Online Art Gallery","the campbell collective"],"price":22500,"price_min":22500,"price_max":22500,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":51429632311610,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Everything That Has Breath, Three","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":22500,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/campbellcollective.co\/cdn\/shop\/files\/EverythingThatHasBreath-08.jpg?v=1749657813"],"featured_image":"\/\/campbellcollective.co\/cdn\/shop\/files\/EverythingThatHasBreath-08.jpg?v=1749657813","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":43101951590714,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.745,"height":2960,"width":2206,"src":"\/\/campbellcollective.co\/cdn\/shop\/files\/EverythingThatHasBreath-08.jpg?v=1749657813"},"aspect_ratio":0.745,"height":2960,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/campbellcollective.co\/cdn\/shop\/files\/EverythingThatHasBreath-08.jpg?v=1749657813","width":2206}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eCaroline Greb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5\" x 7\" watercolor on deckled paper with 1\/4 inch white border\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\"\"Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.
