Experience
Experience
Watercolor on Paper
2008
The idea behind this painting is to show what experience would look like visually. When trying to come up with the visual metaphor, I struggled for a while. It wasn't until I was looking at the hands of an older loved had the idea of using hands. Whenever I came across friends and family I would look at their hands...and they all told the story of different kinds of experience. Some were soft, some were wrinkled, some were calloused, etc... I knew that I had found my metaphor.

My friend Xynira has been my muse lately. This was the first of several paintings and drawings in which I used her as my subject.
Tulips
After moving to Colorado, I began to paint in Watercolor again. Reflecting upon my childhood, I chose tulips as the theme for this painting.Watercolor on Paper
