Watercolour on paper

Signed on the front.

This expressive watercolour painting is from a small series of works adapted from my holiday sketchbook. We were lucky to get away to the Mid North NSW Coast for a week during the school hols and since it was raining I spent most of the trip on the balcony drinking wine and sketching the tropical gardens below. (Dream holiday for me - not so much for my kids).

Now I'm back in the studio I wanted to try to re create the raw energy of those small water logged and wine stained sketches at a larger scale. The green, greys and blue tones in this work are restorative. Painted onto beautiful thick textured ivory cotton paper with a deckled edge on all sides.
