Watercolor & paper 5.5×8.5

Watercolor is my preferred medium for the ability to convey delicacy & density at the same time. This is especially true when doing portraiture. With all my portraits I try to capture an aspect of the subjects personality not just in the moment but in general.

The dimensions of the piece I chose as a way to allow art to be enjoyed by someone who does not necessarily have a large living/working space. The modest size also allows for easy moving from one spot to another. As much as some of my favorite paintings are large, it can be a worrying commitment to someone just starting their collection or developing their aesthetic taste. My smaller pieces allow for an easier cohabitation than might occur with a large scale work.
