Finished earlier work

I’ve been sorting, some of my finished paintings and getting good photos of them. Came across this from about 2 yrs ago. It’s mostly watercolor, but some gesso. I like it, and must get it matted and framed soon.

It’s interesting how different the appearance of a painting is depending on the paint, but also what support is used. This is on Fabriano Artistico, 300 lb HP. It’s generally a very absorbent surface, so you need more paint to get rich darks.

    Very nice. The red and orange colors make me think of an autumn moon and then the blues and violets say to me that winter is on it’s way. Well done.
