Twisted Tree No. 001 | In a Sea of Swirling Air | Mermaid

Description

In a Sea of Swirling Air

Gloria drops her leaves

litter like silk puddles

around her on the ground

She’s nearly nude now

*

The wind rolls in like waves

breakers on hilltops

It spills, crashes into the valley

I feel like  a mermaid

In a sea of swirling air

My inspiration for this piece was the wind during autumn here in the Wild Ozark holler. You can hear the wind coming from a long ways away. The volume builds as it approaches, crests the top of the hill, and then it whooshes through the trees as it flows into the valley. When this happens, it stirs the leaves all around and they swirl.

This 5 x 7″ painting is on watercolor paper which has been permanently mounted onto a birch cradleboard. It is varnished for UV/environmental protection and framed without glass, with a sample of the pigment rock attached to the frame.

 

Prints

All of my prints are processed in house with a professional giclée art printer using archival inks. The paper is archival watercolor paper for high quality prints. This one is only available as a 5 x 7″ print, as that is the size of the original.

Notecards

Notecards are 4 x 5.5″, blank inside, and printed on the same quality paper as my prints. Each are packaged in a clear bag with an envelope and the insert that tells the story of how I began my watercolor journey with Ozark pigments. All of my artwork is available on notecards, and you can mix and match to order a set of 5 for a discount. Sets are not individually packaged, but are attractively presented together in a box.
