Peace in the Forest |
I don't do a lot of
watercolors...I find the complete loss of control terrifying, if you must
know! I wanted a special feeling for
this particular subject, however, so I braved the medium and it came out rather
nice, I think. I find that my soul seems to come
to rest when I am out in nature, and I really needed that feeling of serenity
this week. Painting something in nature
calms me, makes me feel more connected to the world, and a bit less
lonely. This painting was done from a
photo that I took while visiting the upper northwest of the U.S. Parts of the countryside are lush and green,
and filled with pines and deer. I wouldn't mind living up that way...I was born
under a wandering star!!!

I love this, I agree with your thoughts on watercolour, sometimes you have to just let them free! I would have perhaps added a little more detail on the deer, but its a very calming painting as it is :) Great work.
Thank you so much for your comment! I wanted to add more detail to the deer, but just got nervous...watercolor is so different from my usual acrylics!
