DARK DANCER

9X9 Watercolor on paper – Part of the MIND PICTURES series.

The “Mind Pictures” were so named because the images depicted are totally created in the mind of the artist. The process begins by crinkling and dyeing the paper, and thus creating a textured surface. The paper is stretched, and the artist concentrates on the surface in a meditative state, until the image develops in the mind. Bit by bit as the images appear, they are painted on the crinkled paper. The texture developed during this process, is pleasing to the eye and connects the elements with an interesting effect.
