One of my favorite actors, Alan Rickman passed on January 14th of this year. \u00a0I’ve been mulling over doing a special piece dedicated to him and finally sat down last night to do so. \u00a0I tried to using colors and shapes to represent joy rather than sadness\u00a0since that’s what I feel when I look back and appreciate his talent. \u00a0He was one of the few people I would have liked to have met.<\/p>\n

I started with a color palette slightly different than my usual colors on 10″ x 14″ Watercolor paper using acrylic inks to create the wash.<\/p>\n
