New House, New Light series
watercolor and vinyl transfer on paper
9” x 7.5”
We recently moved into 1950’s Camp Blanding house after living in the same little elderly Duckpond apartment for sixteen years. As with any new home, the change brings the unexpected-- some blindingly lovely (like our new neighbors and their respective pets, Skip and Verb) and some requiring a good bit of Youtube diving and donning a Dickies uniform to get very dusty and dirty to fix. In the evenings, filling a small sketchbook of watercolors grew into these few paintings. Checkered tiles were soon supplanted by other more mysterious repeating shapes, until I realized they resemble the shadows on the yet-to-be-replaced blinds in the windows. The vivid colors emerge in a welcome counterpoint to my older more muted work as the new home reveals new light.
