Daily Artsy Paintings Watercolors

Awaiting the Return: Kiana Mosely

We are now well into November and the holiday season is approaching at lightning speed ( see yesterday’s Artsy Holiday post, early I know, but I couldn’t resist! ).  The brilliant October color has yielded to the breezes and leaves are now scattered across the landscape.  Nature has begun her winterizing and it seems a good long time before the flowers show themselves again.  These watercolors by Northwest artist Kiana Mosely have the feel of flowers pressed between the pages of books to remind us that spring will begin again.

Kiana’s flowers have such a flowing simplicity and the characteristic “bleedy” quality of watercolors reinforces their pressed flower sensibility.  Its almost as if these flattened floral shapes are here to remind us that though the spring seems far away, the flowers are still there, waiting for the thaw.

If you’d like to see more of Kiana Mosely‘s work, please visit her website and Facebook page.  Prints of these gorgeous watercolors are also available in her Etsy shop!
