Watercolor on paper: Man with Volcano, 22 x 30".

This watercolor on paper was inspired by Costa Rica. In fact the subject matter is the Papaya tree next to the swimming pool at the Julia and David White Artists Colony near Ciudad Colon. It was created on Strathmore Aquarius II watercolor paper which is a lighter-weight paper, designed with cotton rag and synthetic fibers in order to reduce buckling. It is on a half sheet, 15 x 20". I did it for the Watercolor USA and Japan Watercolor Federation Exchange Exhibition that the Watercolor USA Honor Society is putting together.
