New Item!

With the wake of a freak October storm and having no electricity for 8 full days, we are back and running! Man, New England is getting hit with the worst this year! Anyway, while there were no lights on in the studio, and in between cutting down trees and keeping our property safe, I dragged my sketch board to the nearest light source and kept on drawing! Now, with the lights back on, it's much easier to paint in the sketches.

The latest is something a little different from the normal art I create.  The creation is called Amphritrite and is in a mosaic-type format. I still used watercolor and ink on acid-free watercolor paper, but I decided to stray from what I usually do and try something a bit more imaginative...and here it is.

The completed work

Closeup of Amphritrite's face and the waves making up her body.

The piece is sealed in a protective case and is ready for shipping!

Amphritrite is the Greek sea goddess and wife to Poseidon. In many epic poems and stories, Amphritrite and Nereids (sea nymphs) ruled the seas before Poseidon was deemed ruler of the seas. He saw Amphritrite dancing once and immediately fell in love, according to some ancient poets. Her importance seemed to wane, and in later poems, she was no more than another name for the oceans.

This watercolor and ink depicts a lively sea goddess, looking out over her waters. She has a hint of a smile playing on her lips as she gazes to the far reaches of the water...possibly looking for her husband, Poseidon to return, possibly watching the Nereids dancing and playing in the water, or possibly enjoying ruling the oceans before Poseidon is crowned their king.

The area of the painting is 8 x 10 while the white matting brings the entire frameable area to 11 x 14. There is full cardboard backing on the painting. Everything is acid free to ensure longevity of the art.

This item will be shipped in a protective plastic bag, sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard, and padded in its container.

If you enjoy this watercolored drawing, but would like it in a different size or with a different color mat (or matless!) please message me. As with all my work, everything is negotiable!
