Watercolour Sea
2018
24" x 30"
Watercolour on Paper, Framed
Watercolour Sea was a work where I honed my technical skills referencing detailed imagery while painting, but proceeding with abstraction to carry my idea further. Painting with watercolour can limit your ability to layer paint, or can provide you new opportunities. I try my best to allow a watercolour painting to do the latter.
What does the imagery in Watercolour Sea evoke for you? Do you assign a narrative?

PEONY Diptych
2017
2 panels ea. 16" x 20"
Oil Paint, Printed on Canvas
Peony Diptych was an experimental artwork used to understand the fiscal differences of a work that was created with tools originally intended for alternate mediums. I created the floral tattoo-like design on paper and cut it to be a stencil, then proceeded to 'paint' using rollers intended for lino-cut printing, while using impasto oil paint. The resulting image was bright in some areas, yet subdued and inverted in the peonies. Warm and inviting, this painting would welcome a closer look and would look good hung any distance apart from one another.
