Piece description from the artist
"Elderflower" – watercolor, watercolor pencil and ink on Yupo – 17.25"x23.25"
Watercolor on Yupo has been a challenge and recent focus for my everyday-life scenes involving portraiture. I had been painting landscapes as a way to escape my troubles; and throughout covid, I began to experiment with media, mediums and techniques that I'd never tried before: watercolor on Yupo, a synthetic paper. I also spent a lot of time with close family and so my love for genre themes continued to grow and become very personal.
This is a self-portrait from a week that I had to spend alone because everyone else was working out of state. The Elderflowers were in full, rapturous bloom and the early evening light was grasping through every crack through the tree boughs.
UV clear-sprayed… will ship rolled in a tube. (Intended frame size would be 22×28)
