La Tica – Original Watercolor by Bobby Anderson

La Tica – Original Watercolor by Bobby Anderson (RVA246)

La Tica is an expressive watercolor portrait alive with movement, emotion, and quiet strength. Painted with bold intuition and luminous transparency, this work captures a fleeting moment of awareness. The subject’s gaze feels both present and inward, suspended between memory and imagination.

This original piece was awarded the Merit Award at the Winter 2023 MGAL.org Juried Exhibition, marking it as a recognized and celebrated work within a competitive fine art context. Judge's comments: "Surprising use of color throughout. A small feast for the eye."

For Collectors Who Value Expression, Color, and Emotional Presence

La Tica is created for collectors drawn to works that feel alive rather than posed. Loose, confident brushwork allows color to bleed, bloom, and collide, creating depth and motion that cannot be replicated. Warm earth tones and saturated reds contrast with cooler shadows, giving the portrait a sense of rhythm and inner life.

This painting rewards long looking. Each layer reveals subtle decisions and emotional honesty, hallmarks of Anderson’s watercolor practice and a key reason collectors gravitate toward this body of work.
