Open Hearted. Watercolor, Belgian cacao, lapis lazuli, African lipstick. 68" w x 51" h. sold
Painted in the depth of winter, a few weeks before departing for Ojai. How can I answer when asked what's my favorite color? If I had one it would be an orange-pink glow of the sky, which I'd never achieved before coming home from Morocco and mixing together male murex, African lipstick, and some of my favorite pinks and reds. I spent days painting the 'heart' of this picture.
