The three works in this series all follow the same concept that depends on the beautiful transparent nature of watercolor. The scarf-like abstract shapes in each painting were created for providing a sense of movement and flow that is so much a characteristic of natural forms. In the individual works, each composition of abstract forms is devised as a cohesive vehicle for the representational forms that provide the subject of each painting. Hence, the calla lily forms are buoyed by the cone and diagonal transparent colors; the leaves move as if through wind currents of color; and the shells ebb and flow in the overlapping shapes of abstracted water.
