underwater lily pads and haiku…
surreal umbrellas
This is the third and last in the series of paintings I started during a course last fall with Melanie Matthews and finished recently. Once again I have struggled with taking a reasonable photograph of the piece. This one has a fair amount of texture making it especially difficult. There are also some reflective metallics – so it changes a lot depending on the light and angle.
The under water feeling I was trying to create was wonderfully captured by Tom’s haiku.

Here’s a fun art blog and check out this lovely watercolour with a wonderful piece of fortune cookie advice – and it doesn’t just work for artists!

I really like the perspective and composition and textures in this one! The confusion of shapes manages to be both incoherent and yet concrete and definite at the same time!

Thanks! It actually looks quite different in reality… Although I think your comments are still accurate
