Artist: Janet Sullivan. Title: Flowing Waters. Medium: Pastel. Size: 24" x 32". Framed size (if applicable): 32" x 40" Artist's description: Precipitation either soaks into the ground or flows downhill. Along the way, it picks up sediment ranging from fine clay to gravel. On a steep slope the water is a powerful force, capable of tumbling large boulders. As the turbulent rocks crash together, they chip away the rough edges and round the edges of the granite bedrocks.

The splashes of color on the rocks are algae. The greenish hues are produced by chlorophyll using sun and minerals like most other plants. The orange, rusty iron tints are made by iron fixing bacteria capturing iron from dead algae. In turn this captured iron is used as fertilizer by the growing algae. Shipping from ZIP CODE 59803-2793.
