I did this painting in a hurry and under pressure to get a watercolor out for my Thursday class. It was an attempt to paint loosely. When it was done I didn't particularly like it so wondered whether to even take it to class. It's interesting that it was well received and got a good critique from Jerry Stitt, my instructor. Maybe sometimes we are too close to our work to have the ability to evaluate a piece.
I think this is a wonderful piece! Good job at painting quickly!
ReplyDeleteJean, isn't this always the way..... I love the foreground reeds and think they would work well in another version of this painting with a soft blended sky hung side by side......
ReplyDeleteIt's a great work, caught my eye immediately. Interesting combination of colors, especially in the sky area.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, sometimes we are not the best judges for our own work. This is beautiful , full of atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteYou are right we are not always the best judge of our work. Your painting is lovely it has a fresh watercolour feel to it and you always capture the atmosphere so well too.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely atmospheric painting Joan. The foreground reeds do it for me. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteSome times when we are harsh on ourselves, it help us to grow! It is a beautiful piece Jean,I like the way you did the foreground weeds.
ReplyDeleteCiao, è un gran bel lavoro per i colori e l'armonia d'insieme. Mi piace molto. Io credo che i dipinti fatti in fretta diano spesso (certo non sempre) i risultati migliori, e a volte sorprendenti anche per noi stessi!
ReplyDeleteCiao, ciao, Floriana
