Loafe with me on the grass

12 x 16" watercolor and pen on cotton paper, 2022. Abstract original painting. Transparent pigment over pen. The repetitive process and deceptively simple construction allow no room to hide. All mistakes --blemishes, too-wet brushstrokes, discoloration and blooming -- are visible. The imperfections make this piece interesting. The painting has been coated with a durable uv-protective coating in order to preserve and maintain the pigments as they age. It is mounted to a 12 x 16" panel. It is wired and ready to hang.
