About the Item
Lots of humor in this watercolor painted by a Mexican artist who unfortunately did not sign it.
We enter in a fancy world. Be prepared!
Two trinkets featuring, the first one, an imaginary church with 4 big threatening birds standing guard, two on the 2 church towers, and two in front of the door. Behind this, we can perceive the shape of a big kettle. These surreal objects stand in front of a window, therefore inside a house. They rest on a small green carpet mimicking a meadow's grass.
Outside of the window, we can see in the distance a landscape of medium-altitude hills and miniature figures – men wearing sombreros, some playing guitar, and a couple, perhaps engaged in fieldwork.
The artist skillfully masters the watercolor technique, playing with transparency and allowing light to pass through the paint, reflecting off the paper's white surface, creating a captivating luminescent effect.

View AllModern Colorful Watercolor by Jae Carmichael
By Jae Carmichael
Located in Pasadena, CA
With this colorful and minimalist watercolor by the artist Jae Carmichael, we are immersed in the vibrant world of Fauvism, as championed by Henri Matisse. Color above all, and perhaps even more than drawing, is a liberation," serves as a guiding principle in understanding this piece.
This artwork serves as a nod to pay homage to Matisse's pioneering approach to color and form, mainly as found in all his cutting work, like his “Book-flowers,” where we witness the systematic arrangement of simplified yet dynamic forms delineated by sharp contours reminiscent of cut-out shapes. The artist's bold experimentation with color is evident, with striking contrasts between different hues—where vibrant yellows boldly clash with deep indigo, and audacious blues stand alongside vibrant greens.
Jae Carmichael, much like his Fauvist counterparts, employs broad swathes of pure, vivid colors to evoke emotion and captivate the viewer. This piece, crafted with meticulous attention, showcases the artist's mastery in harnessing the power of color to convey mood and atmosphere. It is signed CC, her last signature.
Whether portraying the distinctive petals and pistils of squash blossoms or capturing the essence of simpler floral motifs, the impact of color reigns supreme. In this piece, the subject matter seems to fade into the background, overshadowed by the sheer force and intensity of the artist's chromatic exploration.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Jae Carmichael studied at Mills College and earned a BFA from the University of Southern California...
