Description Watercolor, 11x14. Commission. 
This is a painting of a Haitian woman who cuts gem stones out of found broken glass. Here she is displaying some of the work she and the group of Haitian men and women who cut gems have produced. These pieces are then made into jewelry and sold on Etsy, where the artists get paid fair wages for their work.

Love the perspective on this one. The value fades show a fantastic control of water colors. Keep on washing!

Thank you for the link! That probably took care of much of my birthday, baby present, and Xmas shopping for the year. So many wonderful (some just lovely, but many indeed useful) things to give people...

Thanks! It's a new small business program Partners in Development started about a year ago, and it's going very well. They are making beautiful art!
