This watercolor/gouache painting was inspired by the elegance of oriental design, a love of architecture, and a love of landscape architecture.  While I (very) occasionally do more realistic pieces, the bulk of my work for the past 40 years has been abstract in nature, and this piece is very much in that vein.  I'm hoping it communicates intriguing possibilities and a sense of calm that is at the same time indicative of strength.  
Medium is watercolor, gouache, acrylic, pen and ink, and gold marker on watercolor paper.

American expat living in Paris. Registered landscape architect in another life who maintains a passion for all things architecture / landscape architecture / urbanism - related. I've been creating art and exhibiting for more than 40 years. Moved to Paris 2+ years ago to study those parks associated with a moment of violence in history, where today there is little, if any evidence of that violence -- the parks are typically places of beauty and recreation. That, too me, is a fascinating dichotomy. So far I have about 50 sites that fall into that category, and i'm sure I will find more with additional research. So the project is to catalog the sites; document, through verbal and visual histories how they have developed; document through my own photography how they are being used today, and then to create new interpretive artworks, blog entries, etc. It's a fascinating journey, and I invite you to come along!! In addition to the originals for sale here on , you'll find my blog at .
