Foliage 2

2002 - 18" x 12" - Watercolor, Arches Aquarelle watercolor paper

This painting plays with soft and sharp focus, much like that achieved in photography. I liked the combination of spiky and soft, round shapes that appear in this grouping of plants. The spray of pinks in the background adds to the energy of the piece.

Shown at the Morton Arboretum, Lisle, IL; with the Northwest Area Arts Council at the Old Court House Arts Center, Woodstock, IL; and in the Illinois Education Association Office in Rushville, IL
