"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.

  1. I love this one! Great use of colour and form. It looks like monnlight in the background. Just need an alligator swimming up in the foreground... :)

  2. I love this one, too. Blue and yellow has always been a favorite combination for me. No alligators, though. Maybe a heron.

  3. I like the more vibrant colours in this one compared to your last one. It really draws the eye.
