Artwork-Daniel Smith Lunar blue, Undersea Green & Venetian Red on Hahnemühle William Turner Cold Press

I’d originally planned to do something more complex, but realized it would take some time. I may still do it, but for now I wanted to get something out so I did this quick abstract.

You can read about his challenge ‘Artists Can Make a Difference: Paint Rain for Australia’ at Angela Fehr’s website.

I did this painting on William Turner Cold Press (not to be confused with , Hahnemühle’s William Turner printer paper) one of my favoritist of watercolor papers because of the fantastic texture. You can find it at:

  Many thanks, Judy! I take spells where I do lots of abstract, then I go for long periods where I don’t. I get bored easily, lol.

This painting imparts the sensation of a downpour in the jungle – quite an effective representation of rain in a loose, gestural style. I love the touches of pink splashed throughout.
