Art Is Community, Ink and Watercolor Painting Work in Progress Time Lapse

Time lapse of the ink and watercolor painting Art Is Community, which debuted in the Concord Art Association’s “Concord Art Community” show in April 2025. I was inspired by the theme to create a knotwork representation of Todos Santos Plaza, the central community space in Concord. There’s always something going on there, a market, a concert, a seasonal event, so what better to represent the Concord community?
