The soothing palette, organic forms & patterns are designed to reflect the calm we feel when surrounded by nature, as well as the captivating details found in foliage. Having been a bird illustrator for many years, 'Looking Back' was born from a desire to bring my older bird work into the new. The painting includes a subdued Avocet added by stamping my design onto wet strength tissue paper. An original abstract botanical painting in soft earthy tones. A hint of gold adds shine to the flowing leaf forms.
