Painting - Watercolor On Paper
Description
This piece was painted while I was having a computer disaster, bronchitis, and sick kids. I wanted to experiment a bit and create something that was a bit more abstract than my previous work. When the work was finished, I was literally on my way to the garbage can when my wife stopped me and said to not throw it away as she found it "interesting." As my wife-translator doesn't exactly know how to decipher this description and the term was used a couple more times to describe the painting, I decided to keep it. The original is 16"x12" in size and is painted entirely with Sennelier watercolor paints on Sennelier paper. This paper really allows the paint pigment to flow which seems to create some interesting textures and effects.

Hey Ken, Great work as usual. You put me to shame with my low production. Thanks I am back painting between road trips. William
Ken Powers replied:
Thanks William! Glad to hear you are going to be able to start painting a bit more!

Tell us more about the Senelier paper, Ken. What a gorgeous painting!!!
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Donna! That paper is interesting. The cold-presses has a bit less tooth than the Arches. It seems to allow for more fluidity and pigment dispersion. Pretty cool!

This could be one of my favorites of all your flowers. Well, the yellow rose is exquisite, but this one really sings Ken. Glad your wife stopped you!

I agree with all above. It would have been a great loss had you reached the rubbish bin.Sacrilege. I love this - its a really good end product - I think you achieved your goal on this. Amazingly how one fails to step back with a detached view of their own paintings. Others see the glory at once. Thank you for your comments on Distant Tor
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Sibby! You are absolutely right. While one is painting a piece it is so easy to get absorbed in the minuscule up close bits of the painting. It is only when one can step back and take in the big picture that the true beauty can be revealed.

I agree with Betty...what in the world were you thinking??? This is a real gem!
Ken Powers replied:
Thank you Marsha! It took a drastic turn and almost went a bit too abstract for my taste.
