Dinosaur
1980

A watercolor painting of a dinosaur skeleton, possibly a theropod, depicted with a semi-transparent technique that allows the underlying paper texture to show through. The bones are rendered in shades of green, brown, and black, with the ribs and spine prominently displayed against the lighter background. The artwork has a delicate, ethereal quality, blending paleontology with artistic interpretation.
