The Textures of Europe
As we traveled around on a European Christmas Market cruise, I could not help but be fascinated by the textures at every bend. The soft, fuzzy fog that hung over the Moselle River early in the morning, the sharp, hard, cold edges of the stones that stood for centuries, the beautiful geometric angles, light, dark, smooth, rough. The glorious design of the Eiffel Tower. All gifts to an artist. My brain is working overtime to figure out how to express what I saw in textures.
Finding the fun can occasionally be elusive, maybe even impossible at times. With my watercolor paintings, my goal is to capture moments to cherish, moments to relax, moments to have fun. I combine both intricate details as well as a looseness in my pieces, which allows the watercolor to find its own path. My objective is being able to translate my feelings to the paper. Take your own moment to feel what I felt, to find the fun in a watercolor painting.
