Watercolor Paintings by Ellen Fountain, N.W.S.

Watermedia Paintings, Giclée Prints

My series include SOUTHWEST(semi-abstract landscapes & still life), TAPESTRY(patterned & textured to suggest fabric), "FABRICSCAPES"(narrative still lifes that use fabric to suggest landscapes, with toys or personal objects), APPROPRIATION series(where I pay homage to artists whose work has influenced my own) and my CATS series (cats, stylized or representationally painted). I also create digital fine art limited edition prints (giclée prints)which are printed with lightfast inks on canvas or watercolor paper.
