Painted from a photo with a fair amount of editing but I wanted to capture the same feeling I had when I was small and visited this house many times.

Watercolour doubled matted in white approx. 20x16

 

After being at the Canadian Watercolour Convention today and coming away totally inspired, I've decided to post some watercolour paintings I did before I started painting with acrylics.  The mat is white even though it reads as grey.  This was done from a photo I took of a houseboat on Toronto island many years ago.

Highlighted Pine

Another new painting I completed from photos taken up north.  There is certainly a feeling you get about the trees, water and sky that you don't get any other place.
