Naming this piece was easy. Sometimes I have trouble, sometimes the name just comes to me without a problem.

“Lady Sings the Blues”
Retro Circles series

I couldn’t come up with a name for this one, so untitled it remains.
Untitled Abstract #2
Watercolor and pen on paper, 7.5″ x 9″
Another in the Retro Circles series (yes, I just decided on that name).
A Moment
Watercolor and pen on paper, 8″ x 6″
The first of my abstract circles series for which I still don’t have a name for. A friend said that it looked like retro geometry, which I kind of like. Retro-circular? That would work as a series title.
“Order Escaped”
Pen and watercolor on paper, 9″ x 12″
I’m taking part in the third Postcard Swap organized by Dawn Diamantopoulos again and my card is complete and mailed off as of yesterday. I enjoy doing this a lot. There’s a certain element of sending a piece of art off into the unknown, to someone I haven’t met, in a spirit of sharing. It’s fun, daring, and kind of cathartic, all at the same time.
Sunflower Sunrise
Watercolor and pen on paper, Approximately 4″ x 6″
I think I have a thing for companion pieces. This one goes with my earlier “Sunset” painting, for obvious reasons. I changed it up a bit by placing the sun slightly off-center and changing the rays around.
“Sunrise”

Some more of my abstract mandala patterns. I like setting them asymmetrically on the page.
“Sun Mandala I”
Watercolor and pen on paper, 9″ x 12″
“Sun Mandala II”
Watercolor and pen on paper, 9″ x 12″
More suns to enjoy. I did the plain sun first, then decided to do another version with the face in it afterwards. The pictures don’t really show how vibrant the turquoise blue is in the backgrounds.
“Sun v2”
Watercolor and pen on paper, 7.5″ x 9″
“Sun v3”
Watercolor and pen on paper, 7.5″ x 9″
Sunset
Watercolor and pen on paper, 7.5″ x 9″
I was thrilled with out this one turned out, especially that night sky. I hadn’t worked with salt on wet paper in a while and it took a few tries to get what I was looking for.
