Description
2/4 Seattle cityscapes created for the Artist Table My Town exhibition. [link]5x7in Watercolor and ink on Fabriano Artistico.
Generations of my family have lived in a rural part of Washington State. I live in Seattle. I know my family doesn’t understand my love affair with this city. To me, walking all over this fantastic city is one of the most wonderful things about my life. The man-made geometric structures of the skyline and the lush green that gives it the nickname, “The Emerald City,” come together to create a world of color and wonder. I try to capture my love of this city in many of my paintings, so others can see this city through my eyes.
These watercolors were created especially for the My Town exhibition. I walked through the city looking for places and scenes that resonated with me, and I hope that others will experience the joy of my town.

Thanks! I love more traditional painting but it requires more focus and time! I have a cityscape that I've been working on for months, a little bit at a time, and I'd say it's only 80% finished. So I often do other faster fun paintings, or work in my sketchbook to keep my attitude toward the art an amiable one.
