Ahhhh….the view from our balcony, late one sunny afternoon a couple of weeks ago. On this watercolor landscape, I wanted to experiment with a simpler, more abstract composition. I loved the sparkles in the pool and the deep shadows from the setting sun out on the ocean. Sometimes I feel like I flit from subject to subject, never zeroing in on one signature scene that could be called my own. But there are SO many beautiful things to paint in this world and SO little time. I just can’t help sampling a bit of each one! Plus, I figure that each watercolor or pastel painting is a valuable learning experience and if I keep painting the same thing over and over, I will have missed out on many enlightening lessons.
