Knifed Watercolors

By Marian Christy

This is the stunning story of how Divine Intervention quietly stepped in and shattered the classic boundaries of Watercolors. It happened to one artist in one magnificent flash, in one inconsequential basement studio, in one precise magical stroke. Without looking, Christy reached for a brush and, instead, a deity plunked a clumsy old palette knife in her right hand. Without thinking, and because she was exasperated with the easel work staring back at her, she x'd out the still-wet painting, turning it into trash. Frustration quickly turned to awe. Quivering squiggles of watercolors played among themselves, creating mesmerizing shapes and scapes of their own making. One thundering thought suddenly grabbed her imagination: "What if I took control of the knife and painted a whole watercolor with palette knives and a puddle?" A decade of trials and errors, of failures and successes, has catapulted her distinctive watercolors to a new, original, contemporary 21st-century style called "Knifed Watercolors(R)."
