I am inspired by details in nature and the colors, shape and texture that it presents. This is a painting of found rocks. I select unique stones, sketch them, sometimes photograph them/ They are chosen for color, intricacies and proportions. The backgrounds are painted with wet-on-wet technique and once dry, the stone illustrations are added, painted from life. The artwork has a meditative, serene quality, with relaxing color and will inspire calmness and peace. The stone is a simple reminder that everything is subject to change. Even a rock, that seems to be so permanent and stable, will change form over time. However, this watercolour is only the initial study of the rocks and forms the basis for the energetic and expressive abstract color block paintings.
