Over the course of the shelter-in-place orders ethereal artist Darren Waterston has painted a series of unique works on paper entitled Strange Days.
Darren describes the works as “evoking the unsettled mood in which we are all swimming. I was inspired to paint these small watercolors because we could all use a little dark beauty these days.”

In collaboration with Inman Gallery, all of these watercolors have been discounted $1,000 from their original retail price.
In addition, a donation of 10% of all proceeds generated from sales of these artworks will be donated to the artist and gallery to the Artist Relief Fund.

There are still over twenty new paintings available!
