Bartle Hall Sky Stations

Love capturing the iconic Bartle Hall Sky Stations in watercolor batik on rice paper!  These towers shine like jewels on our skyline at night!  I'm posting another large gallery piece focusing on all things Kansas City, as we celebratethe wedding of our middle son with a woman who already feels like our daughter! How very blessed we are indeed!  Painting number 3928 in 3928 days. 

Bartle Hall Sky Towers

I've been wanting to work on several large watercolor batik paintings to show when I hang work in Kansas City venues.  After sketching this one in site, I've returned home for the layering of watercolor and hot wax.  The rice paper is so fragile, I must be very careful when handing it wet. It almost falls apart as I work it!  This delicate medium can be very challenging, but oh that light is luminous!  So worth the extra steps!  This one will hang in the executive offices of Blue Cross Blue Shield for the next 3 months. Painting number 3350 in 3350 days.
