cathy ehrler's watercolors

above are 3 paintings from cathy ehrler's eco-series, titled " environmental reverberations ". each work is patterned w/ color & balance. the subject in each is secondary to the painted details; however, collectively these pieces make a profound statement on mankind & our tendency to pollute the earth. 24 paintings in all, paired in color & form ( natural vs. synthetic ). " chaos gives birth to a divine geometric order."

green art

these 3 works by georgia rowswell consist of recycled paper, kudzu & bamboo. cheese cloth was woven into the paper works for added texture. dyes mixed from natural ingredients create the pigments on each piece. the complexity of materials & application continue to amaze me. # 1 is " winter's blanket". # 2 is "invasive species". & # 3 is "palm tree".
