Welcoming Winter

28Dec08

I always make my Christmas cards if I can. This year’s design was partly inspired by the work of Masaru Emoto. I made these cards with a lot of love, and made sure that intuitively I was “on” and present during each step of the process. I wanted to literally send love to others without just writing about it inside the card.

I long to be where the sky is enormous and full of sunshine again, so I’m making painting of that place. It’s so nice to know what you want and where you want to be!

This watercolor had exciting moments along the way but I managed to cover most of them up by the time it was “finished”. But it helped me figure out some of the visual problems that come when trying to depict something that looks so unreal to begin with — the landscape in Abiquiu, NM. This is the first time I made a watercolor without brushes! All you need are watercolor pencils, some drinking water, and a finger for puddling the two together.

Why not make several?

28Sep08

After traveling in New Mexico and falling in love with the landscape there, I considered purchasing a reproduction of one of Georgia O’Keeffe’s mesa paintings, but then realized what I really wanted to do was make some of my own.
