20" x 20"
watercolor on paper
An effective way to enliven original artwork is preparing a space that exploits its' best features. In this case, my landscape watercolor is rather monochromatic with a touch of red, while the viewing area is rather warm. The contrast is thought-provoking and energizes a room.

Nice! The red piece of string in the framed monochrome winter scene drew my attention to the contrast between the framed picture and flowering potted plant directly below it.

Forecast: what our economy (and country) will be like if Obama gets re-elected.

Oddly enough, my first reaction to seeing this was that, somewhere out there, a pair of red mittens had gotten loose and were being blown about by the wind.

Looks like the side of many of the narrow back roads I used to ramble along on the way to a stream, a pond, or the woods.
Now they're paved, wide enough to be four-lane highways, & lined with warped-proportion neocolonial McMansions. The wire has been displaced by faux stone walls & ominous looking hollow aluminum gates. "Westchester on the Otter."
