When I took the picture (before those "final touches" and signing), the painting was propped up on the piano which is why you can see some musical notation on the upper left.
This is another painting in which I think I've managed to get at least a little of the looseness that watercolor demands. So I'm going to go back to a subject of which E has painted a masterpiece and I turned out a disaster. Frankly, I would like to try it in oils, but I do want to see if I can get a least a glimmer in watercolor first.
We'll see,
You are now a full fledged water colorist. There are other times that I knew you had mastered the art, but this confirms it. You seem to be capturing the light and transparency of watercolors effortlessly. I love the painting, and once again it's a panorama--a very successful size for you. As far as the Evansville Trading Post, try it in watercolor. Painting in oils has been less successful for me, and I find I have so little patience to wait for the drying. I haven't cared for the glossiness of the fast drying medium I tried, and the turpenoid takes for ever.
