The Contemplation Collection
The Contemplation Collection brings together Maud Fuller Petersham's works that invite moments of quiet reflection and spiritual awareness. Through moonlit winter landscapes, moss-draped southern scenes, and intimate encounters with nature, Maud creates visual sanctuaries where time slows and deeper truths emerge.
These pieces share a luminous quality that reveals the sacred within the ordinary. Maud's masterful use of light and atmosphere transforms familiar settings into spaces of wonder and introspection, capturing those threshold moments when the human spirit finds itself open to mystery—whether beneath a morning full moon or in the presence of ancient trees whose silent wisdom invites us to pause and listen more deeply.
Blue Reverie
In this serene watercolor from Beaufort, SC, Maud Fuller Petersham creates a perfect setting for quiet reflection. The monochromatic blue palette evokes a dreamlike atmosphere where two figures pause beneath a magnificent live oak draped with Spanish moss.
Time seems suspended as they stand in silent communion with each other and the ancient tree. In the distance, a luminous white structure emerges from the mist, creating a visual dialogue between human presence and the natural world. Through her masterful handling of light and shadow, Maud invites viewers to join this moment of contemplation—a space where the ordinary world slows and deeper awareness becomes possible.

Morning Moon
In this tranquil watercolor, Maud Fuller Petersham captures the profound stillness of a snow-covered landscape on Christmas morning. A pale winter moon hangs in the clear blue sky above a sleeping village nestled against distant mountains.
The foreground's snow-blanketed brick wall and wooden fence provide warm russet tones against pristine white, while a solitary birdhouse stands in quiet observation. Maud's delicate handling of watercolor creates a sense of suspended time, inviting viewers to pause and contemplate that special moment when the familiar world is transformed into something quietly magical by snow and silence.
