Water's Grace*

"Water crashes down with power, then expands into a mist that settles to reveal a stream that flows a slower pace. Let these waters teach the experience of grace." - 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.
