Garden Watercolor

A somewhat subdued watercolor after all the bright colors of oil paints.
Another hazy summer day in Massachusetts, painting this morning with Sarah in her garden. Thanks for looking.

Hello Nel,
I followed your link from Robin Weiss' blog. I like your work. Especially the figure drawings of January, on your other blog. Really excellent.
I was idly going through this artist's blog, since I had never done so before nor had I even bought from her, when I ran across this painting. I bought it immediately! What I love about it are its colors and its lack of specificity. One can see the plants as trees in a forest or in a garden or as coral or weeds growing on the ocean's floor. I am probably unusual because I normally prefer the extremes of either highly detailed and realistic paintings or paintings that are vague and that have a spiritual or mystical appearance and "feel". I also occasionally like a painting that visually makes what I feel is an important point. No middle ground for me in the paintings that I especially love and in this painting the artist has given me a gorgeous scene that I can interpret in so many enjoyable and even wonderful ways! Thank you!
Welcome to my daily painting blog. Here I'll post my efforts to paint one small painting a day, with a little wiggle room by saying five per week. I work primarily in oils these days, but also love my watercolors. I hope you enjoy my work, and as always, your comments are welcome.
