I've been playing around with mark making. Mark making is a fancy term for doodling with expensive materials. Sometimes I just want to put shapes on the paper and see what happens. It's relaxing and it lets me try out new paints and brushes and techniques without the pressure of messing up a planned painting. It's also easier to do when I feel rather abstracted myself.

All of these pieces are watercolor paint on paper.

Floating teacups in a violet cloud #

Pastel color swirls on a paper coaster #

Red, gray, and black swirls on a paper coaster #

Angular forms dappled in their own colors #

An orange and silver seascape #

Another world is possible #
