When I started painting this watercolor at Gardiner lagoon, the incoming tide was pushing water up into the grass of the estuary. The weather was blustery and clouds were flying overhead. By the time I finished, the water was almost up to my easel. You never know what will happen when you go painting.
I love the contrast between the blue and brown.
Thanks, Warren. There aren’t many colors in this painting, but the blue and brown stand out.
I like that you’re posting these on here as well as Instagram. I see the images here as bigger and somehow more colorful. I also really appreciate your descriptions of the outing and the setting.
Thanks, Mary! Glad you like the larger images. It’s almost as good as seeing the painting in person.
I enjoy writing the descriptions of my experience and I hope that more people will follow my newsletter and blog. So far I have 29 subscribers to my newsletter.
In addition to writing for others, my blog is a kind of journal for me, so I can look back later and remember the experience.
