Original artwork description:

A little stand of aspens in a meadow up in the wilderness areas east of Santa Fe New Mexico

Another series of watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper. 15" x 22" image size, un-matted and unframed.

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.

Materials used:

watercolor on arches paper
