This and That

I have continued to experiment a little with watercolor, trying to get the feel for some of the standard techniques. Here are some of the experiments.

This first painting is something from my imagination. I painted it on Arches cold press paper, on the back of a "failed" painting. That paper sure takes a beating!

Next is an iceberg, inspired by a reference photo I found on the Wet Canvas web site. At some point I would like to paint this again using acrylic paints.

Here is another one from my imagination: a sunset over a snow and ice covered field.

Finally, I wanted to paint something to use as a holiday card this year. So here is my abstract watercolor of colorful Christmas decorations against an evergreen background.
