Brian Bailey, Light in the Storm, Watercolor, 7″ x 5″, © 2015

I’m still working on some oil paintings but always find some time for watercolor.  I’ve been exploring watercolor paintings on Instagram and there are so many inspiring artists out there.  I love the way ink and watercolor washes look on paper.  Something about the sharp contrast of ink and the subtle color shifts of watercolor create a kind of visual poetry that I find very compelling.

I started this painting while on a walk in downtown San Francisco and finished experimenting with the washes of color yesterday.  If anyone is interested, here is a link to this painting available on Etsy:
