This dark flower blooms not out in the garden, but in the heart. My abstract paintings always come from my most buried self. And something about the slow sensuality of painting with watercolor brings to my mind organic forms, the twists, swirls, creases, and pleats of nature. I sit and watch the paint join forces with the water and paper, creating veins and the texture of petals, skin, leaves, coral, rocks. It's a magical process. Ready to frame.

The original watercolor painting is 9 x 12"/23 x 30cm on heavy cotton watercolor paper and is ready to frame. Giclee print on archival paper is 9 x 12".
