Figs, a piece from my new Small Moments . . . Noted 2026 Collection.
Small works are my best sellers in both prints and originals. They are approachable in many ways - size, cost, gifting, displaying, and shipping. This size is popular for both seasoned collectors and those new to buying original art.
A small piece fits a house, a small cafe, or a cozy restaurant. It goes on a narrow wall. It leans on a shelf next to cookbooks. You don't have to rearrange a room to make space for it. You can also change it out quickly and easily for a seasonal swap. Small pieces allow for accessible art collecting for all people, and for gifting. It's a low risk approach to bring something handmade and original into the home.
I love to get lost in the slow layering of watercolor paint to build depth and luminosity. It's magical to watch the figs come to life in full form, color by color. I purposefully chose figs with two slightly different colorings. The left fig is layered with the warm golden yellow of New Gamboge, rich Alizarin Crimson, and a touch of deep Ultramarine Blue. The fig on the right is cooler. While using the same colors, I adjust the amount to a very light tint of New Gamboge, a hint of Alizarin Crimson, and much more intense use of Ultramarine Blue to create a cooler blue-purple fig.
Small prints and originals are on my Shop tab, right at the top of my profile.
