“Violet Hill” mini painting

Watercolor on paper, 4.5 by 6 inches with a half inch white border.

Layered symbols frame a passage – a journey, a hill. One of life’s passages. I drew this in masking fluid on watercolor paper, then flooded it with watercolors. Then I removed the masking fluid, revealing lines in white. Part of a series of similar mini paintings, featuring some of my favorite symbols: a braid, thorns, and more.
