I have just added a new page for one of my latest artworks. I have rediscovered pen & ink, and combined it with another medium, watercolor. I am in love with how these two art forms look together!!
Over the years I have done many "portaits" of people's houses in pen & ink. The look and texture of a simple black and white rendering is delightful. But now that I've come to enjoy watercolor painting so much, I couldn't resist putting these two types of painting together, and I'm very intrigued with the results.
The painting of Pickety Place was bound to happen. It is a very rural New England landmark, and the place that inspired the poem "Little Red Riding Hood." It is a restaurant I bring friends to, where the food is made with their own spices from their own gardens. The last time I went to this magical place I took a ton of pictures. When I saw this scene, I knew it was the one to try in pen and ink with watercolor! Enjoy.
