It’s a rather nice feeling when you start with a blank piece of watercolour paper and fill it with something you really like. My taste is different from that of anyone else, of course, and I’ll often get comments on how a good a painting was on social media after it’s been converted into a dozen pieces of scrap in the recycling bucket.
This was one of those paintings that, as you work through it, make me rather optimistic about the end result and I’m quite content with how it developed. And, although the exhibit is in July, a nice winter painting is always in fashion.
This is from a photo taken in the woods just off the Fish Lake Road (N60° 43′ 21″ W135° 11′ 00″).
