This original watercolor captures a quiet, yet striking, moment during the North Port Paint Posse's excursion to the Myakka State Forest on November 2nd. The composition highlights a charming contrast: the delicate, familiar form of my stepmother's Teapot/Coffee Pot set resting upon the solid, dark metal of a park charcoal grill.
The 5 x 7 painting features Michele's signature confident line work grounding the domestic object against a backdrop of loose, bright watercolor washes that beautifully render the sunny, open atmosphere of the Myakka wilderness. The landscape, full of vibrant yellows and airy blues, is framed dramatically by the custom black matting, allowing the light in the painting to truly shine. It's an intimate scene of finding connection and inspiration in the beautiful wildness of North Port.
