El Puentecito (the little bridge)

This work is 5" x 7" ink and watercolor on board. I was working on a theme of bridges, not just ones for traffic, but ones that span relationships and time. I sometimes work out an image and then let it dry before layering on numerous thin coats of white gouache. This creates a veil, and sheer covering that I like a great deal. For me it adds depth and mystery.

The art work  is sealed with an acrylic varnish and framed with a maple wood frame. It is ready to hang, needing only a nail and a home.
