Painting - Watercolor On Arches 300# Cold Press Paper
Description
I was inspired to paint a huge vertical Floralscape for the big wall at the entry to my show at the July 2021 Art Walk on Bainbridge Island. It is juried into the CVG show in Bremerton WA for Jan-Feb 2022 and showed prominently in the window! This painting then won an award from the Northwest Watercolor Society's Waterworks show in spring 2023! Painting it was a challenge of complexity and scale but the image called out to be larger than life so the viewer could just dive into the flower. I've been painting large flowers that I call Floralscapes that explore the inside of the bloom rather than the shape of it against a background. It becomes more abstract and sensual even though it is based on representational references.
My paintings are professionally photographed so prints are indistinguishable from the original art.
I love the luminous transparency of watercolor, the sensual glow of the colors and the fact that the paint can move and flow on its own while wet, intermingling with other colors. Magic happens.
The original painting is framed with a white metal contemporary frame and floats on archival foam core with its deckle edges on display. The white around the art adds 5" to each side making the frame size 41" x 54". It is stunning!

Indeed, the viewer can walk right into this detailed, exquisite painting. The blue on the bottom is such an effective touch, and I love how you picked just a little of it up in the lighter leaves at the top. like/f
