"Lunar Brocade" Painting

This original watercolor painting is entitled "Lunar Brocade". -These colors seemed regal and elegant to me. The way the shapes seemed to rest delicately upon one another and fill the paper, looked rather like a dream-like bouquet of Peonies, Roses and Ranunculus (a favorite). -The separation and pigmentation of several of the colors appear to resemble a lunar surface. The quirky spindles and bubbles seem exotically "lunar". Thus the title Lunar Brocade announced itself to me! - I mounted the watercolor on a piece of handmade paper which resembles a fuchia brocade, which I tore to exact measurements to make a surrounding complementary border around the outside of the watercolor. Both are mounted on a piece of eggshell mat board. This fabulous piece is ready for framing! Overall size of the watercolor paper is 15"w x 15"h, painted on Fabriano 130 lb hot press watercolor paper. The watercolor is floated (mounted) on eggshell colored mat board with 3.5" border showing on all four sides. Actual size including mat board is 18.5" x 18.5"
