Looking into the Valley
The lavender is just coming into its peak color now, and combines with wheat fields, vineyards and hedgerows to make a landscape like a brightly patterned quilt thrown over rolling hills to the base of the blue Luberon mountains.

These colors are gorgeous - a very nice painting.
Despite my watercolor classes, and the years that have passed since taking them, I find my heart still belongs to watercolors. I look at your beautiful pieces and it appears you work wet on wet. I have to read up on it. I was instructed in wet on wet technique as that is what my instructor preferred. I find that I cannot control, nor get the depth of color that I want, doing it. I need a refresher course! Your work is stunning!
Thanks! Yes, wet-in-wet takes practice--water has a mind of it's own, and you just learn to work with it, not ever really control it.
