EXPLORING THE ISLAND/POSTER, 2015

Poster: 14 x 11" Gallery Frame: 14 x 11" Shadowbox Frame: 16 x 13" "Exploring the Island" is a lush landscape of blues, yellows and pinks. Familiar items are arranged playfully throughout, marked with expressive watercolor brush strokes. Bella toys with depth and shadow here, tricking our eye and making us question if we are perhaps looking at a colorful tablecloth in someone's cozy kitchen or a fantastical landscape, cemented by the clasping hands at center.  Bella titled this painting after reading "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," linking the blue currents in the painting with the Mississippi River and the cement hands to Huck and Jim's bond.
