Studies in Structure

Monochromatic transparent watercolor makes the inherent beauty of the structures that surround us more visible.  By emphasizing the play of light and shadow on those structures I try to add to their intrigue -- contrasting volume and solidity with reflection and transcendence.

Part I of this series celebrates the buildings of North America as they are today, whether perfectly restorated, worn from daily use, or in ruins.
