Rapids by Barbara Mathews Artist_David Acierno This small format geometric bottle

This small format geometric bottle holds a few flowers from the garden

Fits a 7"-7

the process becomes like a dance - listening to the music of the wheel

and superior attention to detail

I love the curl as strips of metal become wild hair

Rapids by Barbara Mathews Artist_David Acierno This small format geometric bottleAn original watercolor on paper by Barbara Mathews of Janesville, Wisconsin. Image size: 10. 5" x 13. 5" Double matted to in a black mat board with an inner black mat board. Pouring watercolors is all about values. I first mask off the lightest value and then literally pour paint that I have mixed in small jars on to the paper. Each additional value is handled in the same manner. I may paint with a brush for finish work. I love the challenge
