The reference photos I used to create this moment in a beautiful Koi pond were taken at my favorite cafe in Kyoto Japan. We lived in Yokohama for 4 years and my frequent visits to Kyoto always included a stop to see the Koi in their garden pond.
The watercolor painting is 19.5×13.3/4 in a 20×14 inch frame with a wide mat.
These colorful Koi always bring a smile to my face. This 11×17 inch watercolor is framed without a mat creating an interesting almost aquarium look. I used layers of transparent watercolor for vivid color and depth with touches of opaque white for the brightest highlights.
Danza De Los Alebrijes (Dance of the Alebrijes) is a 22″x28″ acrylic and oil painting, part of my Alebrije Inspired series. Alebrijes (ah-lay-bree-heys) are vibrantly colored, intricately hand-painted sculptures of animals, people, objects, or fantastical creatures. They are made from wood or papier mache. This Mexican folk art originated in Mexico City, but Oaxaca City, in the state of Oaxaca, is now considered the epicenter for alebrijes.
Explosion at a Thingamabob Factory is a 22″x28″ acrylic and oil painting. Color is very important to me and plays a huge part in the creation of my artwork. The shapes and forms in this painting are abstract, but some evoke creatures.
