My method for today's painting is was working in from the frame. I started each of the 16 blocks with a rough rectangular outline and I worked the watercolor paint in toward the center with wet-in-wet washes and drybrush application of color. I worked quickly and left each separate block as an individual composition, part of the total Matrix (and thanks to Margaret Ryall of Painting On for this description!)
Earlier today I was looking at satellite photos of islands .
Now that I have finished these watercolor arrangements, I am struck at how remarkably similar they appear to each other. I guess both sets - islands and paintings - show things that were shaped by fluid movement and pressure from different directions.
Interesting.

These colors are gorgeous and I'm enjoying your series. There's something so satisfying about repeating rectangles.
I really love these colors, especially those in the close up..they are so luscious and moving for me.
