Estuary | Original Watercolor
6 x 8 on Wood Panel
When the sky glows and reflects on the water below, but the shadows begin to to grow long, there is a beautiful moment where your eye sees only light and silhouette. Flamboyant colors reflect on the water and bounce around like an ever-changing painting meant only to last a few seconds.
Capturing high contrast, this watercolor painting glows with both variegated wash techniques and dry detailing.
Watercolor paintings are created with professional grade paints on artist grade materials, including archival watercolor paper that is acid and lignin free. All watercolor paper is mounted on fir-wood boxes to create a beautiful and professional looking raised-canvas look so they are ready to hang without professional framing.
Using a high-yield pigment paint, watercolors paintings are completed with wet washes, dry details and lifting techniques.

When the some days feel like the lens through which we view it is a little too crisp, the colors a little too vibrant, I often pick up my watercolors and let their hazy determination change my viewpoint. Horizons is an exploration of the various viewpoints we can capture when we look far enough. The line where sky meets water, mountain, or tree-line. Painted with a combination of wet and dry approaches, these abstract landscapes echo the rarities in nature when lines become blurred. A foggy shoreline, the first light of dawn, or thick clouds of a storm shrouding what little light is left. I vacillate between oils and watercolors to allow myself to go back and forth between determining every hue and brush stroke, or allowing the ethereal plans of watercolors choose where they will guide me.
