Small 5"x8" watercolor; abstract horse; abstract dancer; expressive watercolor painting by Louisiana artist Linda Snider-Ward

Midnight Dance is a small watercolor, created on 5" x 8" watercolor paper.

This little abstract painting started as gestural drawing of a horse.

I added several washes, and suddenly the dancers appeared. 

They are celebrating life through it's many ups and downs, its bright moments and its darkest.

"The Heart Knows what the Heart Wants"
(watercolor on paper, pulled around wooden stretcher); 10.5" x 10.5"

This little piece was 15" x 21". It's been drawn on, painted on, re-painted on, turned upside-down, turned downside up, and never seemed to quite work. I'm finally happy with it cropped and pulled around a stretcher. "The Heart Knows..." is at the National Association of Women Artists, New York, for their "Champagne Celebration Fundraiser." Hope it sells & helps a little with the fundraiser.

abstract watercolor painting, abstract dove, small original watercolor painting by Linda Snider-Ward, Louisiana artist

"When Hearts Take Flight" (watercolor on paper, 7" x 10"). This little piece began as a series of wet-into-wet washes. After the washes dried, I looked for possible shapes or hints in the direction that I might want to take. That's when I saw the dove. I added shadows and forced shapes to come forward (hearts and ribbons) but left the dove basically the same soft shape. The color scheme is warm (oranges and reds) with blue accepts. "When Hearts Take Flight" is available for purchase on my website (under "Watercolor Weekly).

"Before the Rain" (watercolor painting on 7" x 9" watercolor paper). This little piece is completely made up. It started as a few washes and worked itself into a rock wall and a landscape with cattle grazing in the distance.
