Trade Submerged

12 x 12″ Watercolor on Clayboard

This color exploration started a new vein in the Trade Bead series: that of floating in water.  It is the companion piece to the same sized warm color bead painting.

Chevron trade beads float alongside strands of watermelon beads and cobalt beads to the bottom of the body of water.  Slowly drifting down… broken trade deals.
