A personal note about this piece:

I had a stack of books lying around from a demonstration I gave some people on perspective. I was drawn to the textures of the old book covers and pages and decided to make a still life composition.  –Æ

A personal note about this piece:

For this painting, I wanted to experiment with capturing a detailed watercolor scene in the rain. I began by photographing my backyard garden during an afternoon shower, using those images as reference. After sketching the composition onto watercolor paper, I painstakingly painted fine, clear raindrops across the entire surface using Mod Podge—a method I landed on after testing several others.

Because the drops were nearly invisible as I applied them, it was a bit of a gamble—I had no idea how it would turn out. The process alone took an entire day. Once the Mod Podge had dried, creating a resist effect, I painted over it with watercolor and hoped for the best.

For many reasons, this has likely been the most challenging watercolor I’ve ever made.

A personal note about this piece:

For this challenging commission, I was given old, low-quality photographs of a father and daughter and asked to create a composition of them together in front of a specific building—despite no such photo ever existing. The images of the father were from different periods of his life than what was needed for the scene, so the piece required significant interpretation and creative invention.
