Potted Beauties

Potted Beauties
2018, watercolor on cold press paper, 16×19″
These vibrant geraniums sit outside the staff conference room at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, where I consulted for a period of time with an amazing group of clients, now friends. The image of these plants basking in the warmth of New Mexico sun captures a feeling we all have living here. This composition holds many ideas and techniques I was practicing and struggling with at the time. This piece was a breakthrough for me.
