An artist from Iowa City commented on this watercolor: "Wonderfully bright. A happy scene, full of growth." (Thanks Phil) Anyway, that is what I hoped to express. Growth.
I think that I will ask him to borrow that line, for its name.
I particularly like the accordion effect on the bottom left.
I am Jerusalem artist, creating primarily (though not only) Jewish art. My work, including older illustrations and graphic design can be viewed at my more formal website: http://www.mazalart.com/
More work, also including sketches and experiments can be viewed
I was born in the US, and have been living and creating in Jerusalem since 1980. At times, I feel like an acrobat, bouncing between two competing, yet complementary cultures. Likewise, my artwork is a balancing act: I juggle my commitments to serious artistic concerns, and to Jewish traditions and beliefs, with pleasure from adventures in colour, pattern and temperament.
