Springtime Aspen 1 24 by 18

Another in my Aspen series.  This one is of a forest in the vibrance of spring.  For me, spring greens are the most challenging to get to look natural.

My Challege to Myself

Because I am a bit of a masochist I have set a challenge for myself..  To paint two small (6 by 9 inch) watercolors per day in addition to anything else I will create.  I want to continue this for at least a month. The goal of this experiment is to force me to treat my traditional subjects with new eyes and to push me to explore other ideas and subjects. Here are two of my first attempts.   The idea of one summer and one fall painting came from Jack.

What to Paint after a dry summer

We have had an incredibly dry summer in Nelson so all I can think of is walking in the rain.  The first is from Kaslo and the second is a free form improvisation.  The palette on both was quite limited and I painted very wet.  think I need to start working larger again for greater impact.
