Dawnlight

Well the snow has finally stopped and we have a bright and sunny day for a change.

After looking at the two small paintings (see my posting on 17 January 11) I did in Janet Skrepnek's class I decided I would do a similar scene adding raw sienna into the sky instead of doing it as a graduated wash.

I did the trees as dark silhouettes against the sky using a mixture of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.

This is an original 6-1/2" x 10" framed watercolour.

Thank you to new collector Ms. Geraldine Matheson of Riverside Park, Ontario on her purchase of this painting.
