Artist Statement: Inspired by the work of Georgia O’Keefe and the watercolor techniques I learned in class, I created this painting by enlarging my drawing of a flower to extend past the edges of the paper. I used wet-into-wet, masking, dry brush, and salt techniques to try to create the textures of the flower and stress it’s symmetry without being to rigid. I really wanted to show the colors of the flower and how they seemed to glow from inside the center area.
