"Homeward Bound"

$800.00

Original Watercolor on Canvas

20” x 20”

Painted in 2025

Status: Available

I thoroughly enjoyed painting “Homeward Bound” because it centers on the idea of return—both physical and internal—within a restrained composition.

Creating within a square format creates a contained field, allowing the painting to settle into a quiet equilibrium. The sea presents some subtle shifts in tone, and the weather conditions reflect movement, but the overall scene remains grounded and resolved.

I wanted this painting to cast a reflective quality, making it well suited to spaces where a sense of calm and completion is desired—an original that invites continued engagement without demanding attention. The balanced composition is intended to allow the work to sit with a sense of quiet resolution—bringing a feeling of return and steadiness into the space it occupies.

Each original painting is developed through a deliberate process that emphasizes surface, material, and longevity.

Each work is created using professional-grade watercolor pigments on either prepared canvas or archival 100% cotton rag watercolor paper. The chosen substrate supports the character of the piece while ensuring long-term stability.

For paintings on canvas, the surface is built gradually through multiple layers of gesso, creating a smooth and controlled foundation. A watercolor ground is then applied in several thin layers, with careful sanding between each application to achieve a refined painting surface. This process allows the watercolor to retain its subtlety while adhering securely to the canvas.

For works on paper, the painting is executed on archival 100% cotton rag watercolor paper. Once complete and signed, the work is mounted to a cradled wood panel using an archival PVA adhesive, providing both stability and a clean, contemporary presentation.

Each painting is then sealed with an archival spray varnish to protect the surface while preserving its tonal qualities.

All original paintings are finished in a solid maple floating frame and arrive ready to install. Each piece is carefully packaged in weather-resistant materials and includes a certificate of authenticity verifying the work.

Each painting is a singular work, shaped through both observation and process, and intended to endure as part of a lasting collection.
