This is Black Sunshine

15 by 22″ watercolor on paper. An homage to one of my favorite White Zombie songs – the one that I love to turn up loud on the highway as I try to be mindful not to go TOO fast.  There is no actual black in this painting; I don’t use black paint.

Watercolors, like children, are bright, quick, and mercurial. I am glad to find time to paint some of the beautiful things that I see around me. I work in watercolors on my sunny kitchen table. I love painting portraits, glass, chrome, or anything with lots of light and shadow. I am a native North Carolinian who resides in Whitsett, NC. I graduated from UNC Pembroke in 2003 with a BFA in Fine Art with a concentration in painting.
