"Mangrove Dance"

"Mangrove Dance"

12 x 16 Watercolor

$175

I had lots of fun with this painting, pouring on intense color, then spritzing with water, tilting the paper in various directions....all done after masking out the mangrove. The background almost painted itself!  Then I came back in to do the branches of the mangrove and added some color to the saved white paper for the reflections.  Click on it for a closer view.

"Mangrove No.1"


"Mangrove No. 1"

12 x 16 Watercolor

$200

I am working on a new series of landscape and water paintings, using some techniques fairly new to me that are rather experimental.While not abstract, there is a loose, fresh quality to this one and, as it is the first one, I am rather pleased with it and excited about all the new ideas I have. I am not sure about posting all the paintings in this series, as I have found that there are web sites out there that are actually copying my paintings for monetary gain, as well as work of many other artists posting online.  We shall see what can be done; in the meantime, know that I am working daily and I feel, growing as an artist. Please click on this painting to see the interesting texture, colors and movement.
