"Sienna"

"End of May"

So what is it about watercolor that people find so appealing? Is it the relative liberal use of color? Is it the loose and free style in which they are painted? Honestly, I don't know. I love good watercolor paintings and I really don't know why. Anyone out there have a thought on this?

"Three Aspens"

I never seem to paint enough watercolors. They're popular with collectors and always look amazing at shows. I'm just a lot more comfortable working in acrylics... for that matter, oils too.

Aspens make great subjects for paintings. I always find the markings and contrast irresistible. I completed this small piece this morning and it was really a lot of fun. "Three Aspens" is 8 3/8 x 5 1/8.
