watercolor wanderings

A daily celebration of joyful “play”in thinking about, conjuring and abstracting the New Mexico landscape.

Especially in these anxious days of pandemic, my practice of daily watercolors has been a welcome creative ritual.

I don’t consider myself a “watercolorist.” Rather, I’m simply an artist having a helluva good time seeing what paint and water on paper will do.

And I’m sure having fun abstracting New Mexico’s land and sky — per my perpetual interest in combining “recognizable” landscape forms with passages of pure abstraction.

What surprises me most about this series is the wildly buoyant color.
I guess that’s just the medicine my Muse needs right now.

You can learn more about these watercolor paintings in my post The Importance of a Daily Creative Practice. 

The first 30 of these are now available via my online gallery store here.

And you can watch as I paint painting #30 in this nifty video.
