Works on Paper Plein air-to paint in the spaces of landscape. This is an ongoing project to react the immediacy of a space and to relearn a medium; watercolor that I had given up almost 3 decades ago. Now after several years this project crosses the line between a represented space and its essence.
These are mostly watercolor with acrylic images represent my sense of belonging in that space.
