Watercolor on paper, July 2026
18”x14.5”in
I created this piece as an abstract landscape, letting color and texture suggest a place more than describe one literally. The composition is dominated by cool blues, soft lavenders, and pale aqua tones that drift across the canvas in layered, vertical strokes, giving the surface a sense of movement like rain, water, or wind passing through light.
Along the left side, I introduced warmer greens, ochres, and earthy browns to anchor the image and create contrast. That edge feels more grounded and natural, almost like a shoreline, a field, or a dense strip of vegetation emerging beside a reflective body of water. The transition from the textured, darker side into the open, luminous blue field creates a quiet tension between density and spaciousness.
The brushwork is loose and gestural, with visible marks left intentionally to preserve immediacy and energy. I wanted the paint to feel alive, layered, and slightly atmospheric, so the image holds both structure and softness at once. Overall, the piece carries a calm, contemplative mood—something between a memory of nature and an emotional impression of it.
