This piece is part of a series inspired by color and pattern found in nature. My process is an intuitive dance of play, working until I find just the right combination of color and texture. I know when it is done when it elicits a feeling inside, a zing, a ping of joy or pleasure that often only comes with that final touch or pop of color, suddenly transforming the piece. This work was created using watercolor, ink, acrylic, pastels and iridescent pigment.
