Description
de.par.ture \ n 1: the act of going away.__________
it happens to all of us at some point.
one way or another.
__________
tinkering with some new textural techniques.
working from a book by maxine masterfield called 'painting the spirit of nature'.
saw this piece by marti m. fenker in the book and thought i'd try my hand at her(?)
technique to recreate it.
also threw in a few of my own.

Have missed your watercolours, D. Hey! I've missed everything around here too. Been in outerspace 
Thanks for sharing your talent once again. This is a pleasure for the mind and for the soul that makes me come back here now and then.
Deep concept as well. Departure. Strong.
Amazing texture!!! I love the organic feeling and the colour scheme. Brilliantly done, as usual. It's so yours. Could recognize it anywhere. It's your unique style...
Ah! Love it love it love it...
