I like rows and paths with shadows

Posted by: givinitypress on: July 28, 2011

Here is a little watercolor I love.  It is so simple.  I found this house in Richardton, ND.  I actually started  by painting the vegetable rows months prior to that. I forgot all about this star and found it later in a pile unfinished watercolors.  I had just gotten back my photos from a watercolor workshop I taught at the  Abbey and decided to paint this house into the background.  So it was kind of like putting two unplanned paintings together.

 

The suggestion is paint what you  love.   Vegetables are so good for you, and here we have sunshine and shadows.  I was limited to the most basic shapes and I  didn’t have the photography to detail the foreground. But I don’t think it needs it.
