And now, time for something completely different.
Unbounded Spring
5” X 7”
Watercolor and Ink on Paper
It’s been a while since I’ve painted abstracts. Yet it has
been on my mind, one of those art swirls that slowly coalesce and then erupt in
a frenzy of work. This is watercolor and ink—a technique I’ve used in the past,
but not in this exact way.
The technique was inspired an artist many years ago
who came into our 4th grade class to share her art. I was intrigued by
the way she filled her paintings with lines and shapes. That was a long time
ago, but suddenly the idea resurfaced again.
This piece was inspired by our amazing spring brought on by
a wet winter. Even the old-timers say it was the most beautiful they remember. How
appropriate that the summer monsoons have arrived and it is raining as I write
this post…let the green continue!
