watercolor 75 10x13”

1:09 PM: we have a zoom call soon, so i’m stopping early. i painted watercolor 75, which is in the smaller format: 10x13.”

yesterday as we walked, it struck me just how pervasive the splashing water is, now that the snowmelt is nearing its end. it’s giving one more good dousing to rocks, branches and beaver dams before calming down to a gentle summer flow.

so, after completing all the marks and strokes, i passed my fan brush over it all, giving the impression of water wildly splashing.
