Original Watercolors

While I primarily work with acrylics, I do enjoy a change of pace sometimes and love experimenting with watercolors. Unless otherwise stated, my watercolors are typically 9" x 12", matted to 11" x 14" with a sturdy backer board, shipped in a protective sleeve and ready to drop into an 11" x 14" frame of your choice. This presentation keeps them affordable and makes it easy for you to enjoy original art in your home. They also make thoughtful, charming gifts for any occasion.
