From a photo of a nearby creek in a local park. Not a great watercolor but perhaps a bit more solid than the ones I have done earlier this week. The fact is, once you don’t make painting a daily practice and let it slide by, you really need to get warmed up to do it yet again! I’ve been far too busy with other things, and it shows . . .

That’s better 🙂 lots of depth in this one.
Yeah – more obvious things. The other was from a photo which did not really have distinctive separations, particularly in the lower area of trees in the foreground to the middle ground.
The warm lights in the foreground really set the shadows off . Then the glint of water leads you through to some backlight. It’s a dynamic piece.
Thanks, Graham. I always struggle – don’t we all? I am glad it works, though, as I see a lot with it I dislike.
Yeah, they’re never quite as good as what you want them to be… maybe the next time
