- Janus, Botanical Watercolor & Gouache on Paper, 2 Bud Vases with Purple FlowersBy Christina HaglidLocated in Chicago, ILTwo bud vases seemingly defy gravity as they teeter upon a watery surface in Christina Haglid's "Janus". This meticulously detailed watercolor invites the viewer to take a closer look at nature, to question what is seen and to enter into a newly created world.
