Pure Water Series

Nara playing biwa

This series of watercolor paintings extended from the “Pure Land” series, which in turn, is an extension of the “Rising Sun” series. In this series I am varying dimensions of the paintings from the quite narrow proportions of the earlier series. I am still working in all three series because I have lots of ideas, and I am really enjoying all of them, moving from one to the other. My mind is wide open for the Pure Water series. I don’t know where I will go next with it.

↑ for Nectar

Hummingbirds captivate me ; their agility, speed, beauty, and stamina. I admire the way they gather nectar, artfully maneuvering to each flower. This painting is an ode to hummingbirds. I created a coastal home for this bird, with fuchsia to feed on. I wanted the painting to be bright and joyful, with a feeling of abundance.

Throwing Down

This was inspired by "Prapatti", a painting that I did during the Century Watercolor Extravaganza. I wanted to explore this image more, the movement of the waves in conjunction with the tern. The tern is about to dive into the giant wave, and is absolutely confident and going for it.

Strong Ties

A large koa tree stands on a cliff overlooking the tide of the South Pacific. The night sky holds a full moon, the Milky Way shining above. This painting was done for a close friend, and was a joy to do.
