Proud” by Janice Morris
2016; yupo paper with watercolor, gauche and acrylic; 22” x 30”

Janice Morris graduated from UW-Eau Claire with a comprehensive art education major. She taught high school art for 33 years and has been retired since 2002.

“This piece, ‘Proud’ used a layering of textures and colors using watercolor on yupo. I began with a lot of color and texture moving through the piece. Gauche was used to define the bird because of its ‘flat’ quality and semi-transparency. Some acrylic was then used for some ‘punch.’ ” – The Artist
