Original artwork description:

Another in a series of watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. In this case I used sumi-e ink using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper. 12" x 7"image size with 16" x 20"mat, ready to frame.

Open skies, storms coming in, sweeping vistas, mountains and grasslands all call for broad strokes and bold light and shadows. I strive for an economy of color and execution that can bring a landscape to life. If I can capture the shadows, forms, space at a given moment with the flow of line and color, then I can start to feel that I have succeeded.

Materials used:

watercolor and arches paper
