Description:
Watercolor on paper of an abstract pattern in a mixture of warm and cool hues. The pattern resembles a glimpse of a marsh with spanish moss motfis descending from the top and cypress knees emerging from the bottom. The middle region evokes a wet, humid, misty setting using magenta, navy, and an olive green. A few strokes of opaque white cross the center diagonally resembling wind.
