Red Shed Community Garden
As many of you know, I spend a lot of time at Red Shed Community Garden in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This summer, I started a new creative ritual — heading to the garden every Tuesday evening to paint with watercolors alongside friends. While I dabbled with watercolors on-and-off many years ago, it was fun to get back to using them again.
Each week, I had the specific challenge of painting with about an hour of daylight, so I decided to embraced the limited time to do what I could. Since I’m not that familiar with the medium, this series has been an exploration filled with “what-if-I-tried-this?” type experiments. With the sun now setting before 7pm, I’m afraid my nights of watercoloring this year are over, but I’ll still be able to go for a couple more weeks and do some quick drawings.
Below, you’ll find the paintings from this series, arranged loosely in reverse chronological order, with the earliest paintings at the bottom. I hope you enjoy the collection, and if any of the pieces speak to you or if you’d like to own one, please reach out!
