Frozen Creek (1 & 2), watercolour on paper, 12 x 16 in. (16 x 20 in. framed), 2017
These paintings were part of a series of field studies I made in the wintertime at a park I used to visit as a child. My intention was to capture the stillness and tension that exists within winter landscapes. I allowed the environmental conditions to create the compositions for me by using the snow as an editing tool, leaving the areas of snow blank and focusing on the structures within the landscape that remain in colour. I wanted to express the balance of positive and negative space that exists in nature. The areas of coloured structures are the significant landmarks within this environment, as they withstand the environmental conditions while others are erased by it.
