Small Watercolors, 2008

Recently I have been making small watercolor studies from the One Hundred Drawings. Many of the images I used in the One Hundred Drawings series have become almost iconic for me now. I wanted to explore this aspect further. These pieces have been cut into in some way and they are all designed to be mounted out from the wall over rectangles of color.
