Upcoming Events

Abstract watercolor of a small adobe building which was used as a studio. The picture plane is divided into three separate organic shaped geometric elements; a fluid swash of green ground on which the adobe structure sits and a large transparent wash of blue surrounding the building as the sky. The studio itself is softened rectangle shape of transparent yellow which reveals, to the left, a brown feathered watercolor bleed as the doorway.

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.
