Description
Autumn Aspens Watercolor on paper, by Conni Schaftenaar
This is a quick work I had done several years ago to practice using a sharp edge (palette knife, edge of a credit card, etc.) to scrape into wet-into-wet color blends to pull out the color, creating the white tree trunks and branches. After all was dry, some colorful leaves were applied, as these aspens are just beginning the change into lovely fall color!
Haiku about this piece written for one of Laurel Adam's What's the BUZZz contest's Blog Discussion - not a poet, so don't shoot me!
"Rosy autumn dusk
Aspen trees blaze orange red
White trunks gleam brightly"

Such a beauty, Conniā¦and love the haiku! Your love of experimentation with technique, media and substrates is often a simple, almost abstracted nod to process, allowing image to elegantly burst into captivating DESIGN! The pointillist elements are the perfect backdrop for the slices of knifework. BRAVAā¦I am loving the revisit and re-FAV
