Familiar landscapes
Of all media, I find watercolor paintings the most challenging. Their marvelous clarity escapes me as, time after time, I create puddles of muddy color.
Ana Rosa Navarro also struggled with the medium, and now dominates it with absolute authority.
Her subjects are familiar landscapes in west central Mexico where we both live. Tapalpa's pine forests. Puerto Vallarta's plazas and palm trees. Adobe homes, stone bridges and terracotta pots in flower-filled patios.
She captures the soul of this land and its people.
