Calla Lilies and Trumpets

"Salsa Trumpets"   24" x 18"   $850 Framed

Another calla lily watercolor, but with very different shapes than the last one. In this painting, I've emphasized the more rounded trumpet-like shapes. The lines all radiate out from the center spiral, like a blast of bright sound. I was listening to salsa music for this painting, too - pushing the rhythms into the painting and indulging in the hot, intense tropical colors.

Thank you again to my friend Pam Lough for her wonderful source photos!
