Watercolor, Mountains, Abstract, Hawaii Artist, Arlene G. Woo

Acrylic, Collage, Mixed Media painting, Summer, Hawaii Artist, Arlene G. Woo

Like many thrifty artists, I had decided to paint over an old blue painting.  I wanted to use some bright colors like orange, sand, etc, but the blue decided to stay.  So the painting and I compromised.  We have the blue of the ocean and the sky and the sand of the land.  I used hand-dyed papers I had made years ago and some newer papers I printed.  This gallery wrapped image is 24"x12".  $400, Free shipping within the U.S.
