A poetic compendium of botanical and floral watercolor prints During the course of 2020, the artist Charlotte Verity (born 1954) made more than 100 watercolor monoprints in response to the plants and flowers growing in her London garden. The Printed Yearis the result of a year's fierce observation of urban nature. Week by week, through a painter's eye we watch the seasons unfold through technical experimentation, color and format. Verity's poetic images are contemplative and spacious, surprising us with their luminosity and intensity of color. They insist on the enjoyment to be found in simply taking the time to look.
