IN THE PINK THEORY

OAXACAN PARROT is watercolor, however, it is a unique format. I refer to it as a "ceramicized" watercolor.  This piece was inspired by much of the artwork I saw when visiting Oaxaca, Mexico. The style easily lent itself to a watercolor format. The unique watercolor quality on this piece, involves the colors being heavily mixed, and  then allowed to blend based on their own viscosities. Notice the unique color blending in the feathers of Oaxacan Parrot.
