PIEMONTITE GENIUNE

Piemontite Genuine is ground from a scarlet-streaked sorosilicate mineral in the monoclinic crystal system from the hills of Italy. It is one of Daniel Smith's PrimaTek watercolors. Used full strength, Piemontite is a deep ruddy violet, while a watery wash granulates to a warm violet-brown that worked beautifully for this snail shell. Piemontite adds complexity to shadows and mottled rusty surfaces.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
