The Dock*

"Rest your worries on the dock. Set sail for peace and love, and linger here no more." - Julie Leidel

I created a series of 8 small 4x6 gouache paintings, where I'm using a new technique to mist the surface after creating the painting to have a deeper misty vellum feel. The poetry that flowed out as I went to frame each of these just needed to become part of the artwork. Due to the small size of my original painting, in this case, I can only offer prints in two sizes on this artwork.
