Sierra Sacramento Valley Medicine

Dr. Arnold is an ophthalmologist who uses microsurgery in her work. She feels that the arm movements for tiny surgical incisions are in much of the same rhythm as the brush strokes for larger paintings; these common movements originate from the shoulder.

Her patients appreciate a restoration of color vision following surgery, and color values are important in her paintings. This watercolor is 18 x 30 inches on 300-pound cold press Arches cotton rag.
