A Night At The Opera
Watercolor, Ink and Gel Pen on 12''x18'' watercolor paper
December 2025
Originally commissioned by my sister-in-law, Chloe, this painting depicts the many sounds one may hear out in the woods at night. The scene is formed around the layout of the Paris Opera house with a moon spotlight, leaf curtains, a cricket orchestra, and a bullfrog conductor. Crows wait in the wings to sound their applause as soon as the show ends and the sun comes up. Right now, you are in the moment when the coyotes have their solo, and the barn owls are staged up next. Take a deep breath. Enjoy the show.
