"Adobe Gate" by A.B. Deneweth

I love painting the colors and abstract textures of New Mexico. Here the old fence and the smooth adobe contrast caught my eye. This is a transparent watercolor "pour" painting where the typically primary colors are added in layers as other layers are masked or blocked out.

It's one of my favorite watercolor techniques. For more information about this technique check out Jean Grastorf's book: Pouring Light. You can also see a short video demo of her watercolor pouring here.

"Look Sharp" by A.B. Deneweth

While I usually paint abstracts in oil, I thought juicy watercolors would be perfect for this large abstract painting was inspired by a blooming cactus plant that had taken over our side garden.

I'm pleased to say this painting won an award at the Denver Art Students League. Like most of my paintings that are lucky enough to win an award, I keep this in my studio for extra inspiration on a tough creative day.
