Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day.

Shadows in the Snow
Today I did a 1 hour watercolor study in complementary colors - Indian Yellow and Violet. This watercolor is 8" x 6" and is painted on Canson Tientes cold-pressed watercolor paper. I definitely paint more loosely when painting quickly!
Michelle...I love to paint in purples and yellows - you can get such a range of colors with them. I agree that there is sort of an eeriness to it - it must be all those lurking shadows!!! tee hee Thanks so much for commenting.

AutumnLeaves...thank you so much!
Love the colorful shadows and wintry feel to this!
Thanks, Teresa - especially for your comment about the shadows - I struggle with shadows most of the time! :(
Gorgeous painting; love the colours and the eeriness of it.
