Under the Willow Oak: Wild black and white warm and a little wild

warm and a little wild at the same time

embellished with watercolor and gold pen

but simply holds space through changing seasons

The tulips stretch and twist in different directions

Each piece stands alone but sings together

Under the Willow Oak: Wild black and white warm and a little wildI found a willow oak in Salida. A Southern tree, quietly rooted in Colorado, far from where I expected to find it. These small studies began with cyanotype and collage, then palette knife and heavy body acrylic, finished with gold pen. Each one is a different way of seeing the same leaf, the same tree, the same unexpected belonging. This one is wild. One of a kind, framed in black and gold.
