Hearts and Flowers

 

This painting is a departure from my usual calm, somewhat tame watercolors. It is comprised of inks, gels, gesso and acrylic paint, still considered watermedia but giving vastly different results. There is no plan, no drawing. I just squirt, spray, pour. Then I use palette knives to texturize and create shapes. Afterwards I search for meaning. Sometimes these 'starts' hang in my studio for weeks before I get some inspiration and forge ahead. The ending is a truly unique piece. I think you'll agree!
