Rona Liu, Hills in Spring, Gouache on Paper, 8 X 5"

Acrylic Gouache on Paper, 7 X 5"

A beautiful gouache study of the East Bay hills on the cusp of change. Rona's brushwork here is reminiscent of musical notes, and feels playful, as if catching this moment, this light, is a sneaky thing. 

"I love music, I love the rhythm of it. It’s similar to the way I can feel the weight of paint—how some paint is thin and light, while other paint is thick and heavy. When I listen to or play music, it evokes sensations and feelings that remind me of that same tactile experience.” - R.L.
