The "No More Winter Whining" post I did on Sunday led me to this wonderful photo at Family Trees May Contain Nuts. I left a comment how nice the picture is and mentioned it would make a cool painting. The blog "proprietress" said, "Go ahead." So I dusted off the watercolors and gave it a shot.
It's been a long time since I painted a picture. I did a couple watercolor tags last year for Tag Tuesday, but for a number of reasons my watercolors are now used for coloring papers for collage or backgrounds for tags and cards. It was kind of fun to try a picture again, and yes, I can tell I'm out of practice. Think I still prefer collage work for now.
Enjoy!
Oh that is so cool. I love it. The sunshine is really lit up the snow. I think it is a great likeness of my photo.
ReplyDeleteI also was inspired by the original photograph. You have done well, Diane. I hope you continue to do both.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Lydia, I love how you portrayed the snow, and the shades of blue.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see you inspired by Lori's gorgeous photo. It's doubling the pleasure for us readers.
