September Featured Painting - End of Summer

September's Featured Painting


                                                                  End of the Summer, 5x7" watercolor on Yupo
©2012, Helen Read 
this price includes a simple black frame with glass
(Please add $10.00 shipping in the US, IL residents please add 8.25% sales tax
International shipping - $25.00
)

Here is the finished painting!  Once again, I'm painting on Yupo and finding its qualities very interesting.  It holds the paint in a completely different way than the usual watercolor paper does - and surprisingly, texture is very easy to create as well.   In this painting, it begins to move a bit toward abstraction because of the way that the paint pools and puddles.  

Just for the month of September, this painting and its frame are featured for $30.00.   It is a one of a kind, so when it sells, it is gone.  If it does not sell by the end of September, it will revert to its usual price.   Grab it now, at its great price, for that small wall that needs color!
