It's a Start!

Not quite as tentative, a little brighter, a few more colors
and water acting together.  This was to be very traditional,
something I penciled down shortly after we got to Sedona.
I decided to leave traditional behind and see what happened.
I'm still pondering that but I think it's better.  We'll see what
tomorrow brings.

This is New Mexico as we sped along I-40 trying to stay ahead

of the snow.  We made it!

Doug these paintings are really lovely, the bold yet delicate washes are very fluid and expressive.

If this is today then I can't wait until tomorrow. These watercolours are very exciting and taster for more pleasures to come. Enjoy your trip through New Mexico and don't forget the sun block.

Hi everyone,

I spent some time writing notes back to each of you and then blogger jumped up and ate them all. Needless to say, well I can't say that here but I was upset.

To avoid writing back to each of you I'm sending a group "big thank you" so I can get to my next painting.
Bah google, bah blogger.

Regards Doug

Suzanne, sometimes I don't recognize the value of attempts like this. Rather than explore further I take a different fork on the path ... lost focus.
