From the Artist
"Cherry Blossoms" was the first of several works exploring the Japanese sumi-e style of painting. Every work is an opportunity to explore and learn; the sumi-e paintings have provided a chance to delve into a different technique and approach to watercolor.

About Watercolor Paintings
Often confused with pencil drawings, due to his fine brushwork and exacting detail, Eldon’s watercolor paintings can begin weeks in advance of the finished work. Sketches and planning often proceed these works with an eye towards bringing forward the spontaneity of the original spark of creation.
This is a wonderful way to own an original work and help support the artist’s continued efforts!
