Filling in the Blanks of Springtime I - 18"x24"
"Filling in the Blanks of Springtime I" is a colorful geometric cut paper painting that's about reminiscing past springtimes and being hopeful for new ones.
I used watercolor paint, colored pencils, pens, and gouache paint to fill the painting with different floral drawings (marigolds, white cosmos, dahlia, lavender, cone flowers, chive flowers), springtime colors, and mark making from tiny pen dots to thick wavy lines.
I then hand cut and glued varying sizes of triangular and diamond shapes onto a larger 18"x24" sheet of archival 300gsm watercolor paper to reveal an overall geometric pattern. Some of the blanks are drawn in, as a literal interpretation of the concept "filling in the blanks from my memories."
A 1.5 inch border of unpainted watercolor paper naturally frames the painting. You can also add an optional 1 inch mat border to provide additional depth and breathing room.

ARTIST SIGNATURE - This piece includes a small, simple artist signature along an edge in the bottom right corner.
OPTIONAL FRAME - I'm happy to include a wood or black metal frame shown in the photos for an additional cost. The frames include a glass cover and a back board with easy-to-rotate turn buttons and metal hangers. Please note that the display area of the wood frame is slightly larger and REQUIRES a mat border to properly frame the painting.
OPTIONAL MAT BORDER - I'm happy to include the mat border you see in the photographs. They were custom cut to fit my artwork and allows room for the paper to breathe.
