Forest Beach      Watercolor

“Plein Air Painting:
The experience is fresh, right now. If I see it well and paint it right, I keep the essence, pass it on. How does the day feel and look? Is the light changing or constant. Intense or diffused? Cerulean sky greying to lavender at the horizon- catch it! All this is sensed, picked up, interpreted and distilled. Everything flows through me, through my brush.
This moment, now, captured.”

“A bouquet is much more than it seems. We mark an occasion, remember an important date, or pay honor to someone.

Little House      Watercolor
Image Size 7.25 x 10      $700
