AUTUMN AT LARAMIE: WATERCOLOR

Autumn at Laramie
This watercolor was another attempt at getting some color into my life.  Often when we lived in Wyoming, hubby and I would take the children on outings, to hunt for fossils, look for wildlife, and explore where we were living.  We had to cram a lot of exploration in, as we usually were only at that military base for about 2 years.  Laramie had an especially beautiful prairie nearby, with lots of sagebrush and antelope.  The skies were always clear and deep blue, and in the fall, everything was golden and rust colored.  It was definitely one of my favorite places to live!

Love the colors in this, but you're right, watercolor is a lot of practice and really difficult. Hang in there!

I live near Laramie, and the colors are beautiful in the fall. Like this a lot.
