Watershed (Common Journey Series)
"Watershed," one of four paintings in the Common Journeys series. Watercolor, gouache, India ink.
"This four-piece series represents a journey that I have observed is common to others. For me, it is one that I have experienced in my work as an artist, in this particular order, as depicted in four paintings:
Millstone: a thought or seemingly insurmountable challenge hanging over your head.
Interference: someone or something that is preventing the millstone from being overcome.
Rebellion: defying the interfering circumstance.
Watershed: the rush of that moment of passage and relief stemming from the surety that one is moving in the right direction, earned through tenacity and independence.
