The 200

Two hundred original watercolors — one hundred painted by Kyle, one hundred by Jeannie Ortiz — made in the field across Wyoming, Montana, and Colorado through the summer of 2026. No studio: the paper was torn down from parent sheets before departure, carried in five purpose-built clamshell boxes, and painted wherever the road stopped.

Every painting carries its own price, and no two prices repeat. The two hundred whole-dollar amounts form one shared pool between the two painters, and each price is set subjectively — a record of what the painting actually asked of its maker, not a formula of size and materials. The price is part of the work.

The 200 is the first iteration of a larger idea; later rounds are planned to grow — two hundred from each painter, and eventually six hundred in all.

Announced on the summer solstice, June 21, 2026, with sales beginning in early July through the shop.

The project is one strand of Survival Notes from the Near Future — a working answer to its central question: whether the whole operation can be carried, and keep producing real, physical work from anywhere. The season it belongs to is Everything That Can Be Carried.
