Another?

Thinking back to March, I remembered another watercolor that specifically dealt with greens!  I had forgotten about this piece and it turned out to be a favorite.  I think that's because of the wonderful color combination of greens with purples.

A "Green" challenge was chosen for our March project in a Facebook group I'm in.  This scene was my choice to try for our casual "challenge".  It's from a photo I took with my film camera in South Pasadena many years ago, posted below.  I'm a little sad about the view since it's not there any longer.  Soon after I took this photo and a few others, the cool green chairs disappeared.  I hope they have a good home.  This painting was a little stressful while being painted since all the lines were getting confusing.  But I like the end result, and another try at it might be fun.

  2. Nice one Sherry. No reason to be sad about the cool green chairs, because you saved them.

  3. This one's got it all, Sherry. Values, complementary colors, loose and painterly brushstrokes, light. It's a relaxing and inviting scene. And I love the blending of colors on the paper.
