Watercolor and Pen
7"x5"

Summer River

Water cuts the earth
and goes
where its will takes it.

This is my first attempt at making a watercolor painting in many years. Since I started the MFAIA program at Goddard I have worked almost exclusively in black and white as I wanted to step back from the work of my recent past and rethink what I have been doing.

It has been a great experiment so far and all of this next semester I plan to do all of my sketches with watercolor and pen until the cold of December freezes my water in the field. What will prove really interesting is what kind of effect this has on my prints, especially the monoprints.
