2010 - 12" x 16" - Watercolor, Arches Aquarelle watercolor paper
There’s a hierarchy at a Coffee Bean Café fountain across from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. This is a portrait of the Fountain King (at least one of them). He sat with regal grace over his watery throne – until he deigned to give someone else a turn.
The feather textures, the stone fountain, the splashing water, and the fan-shaped plants in the background were beautiful and fun to recreate in paint.
