Paper Mill
Almost all of Raffael's watercolors are gigantic in scale, reflecting the influence of the enveloping giant canvases of the abstract expressionists. His method has always relied on the photograph. His early flower watercolors emphasized painterly surface rather than blunt realism, but after 1976 he began to minimize the watercolor textures in favor of a more jewel-like, brilliant surface almost like that of a shiny color photograph.
