"F.M. Rock"

This is a bit more abstract than most of my paintings. It is actually a study of texture and effects. Its title is a play on words; the painting was based on a 1-inch long rock from a rock shop in the South Bend Farmers Market, so "Farmers Market rock" became "F.M. Rock". The textures and colors were all suggested in the polished surface of the small stone.  Watercolor. Framed to 10 1/2" x 16".   $200
