In Passing
Watercolor, 10 x 16"
My life, this summer, has slipped by like the image in this painting. As an example, this painting was made on July 12 and it's taken till today, August 23rd, to photograph and post it. I much prefer the way watercolors look online when scanned but this one is too large for my scanner.
In April, when I was traveling through North Carolina and in May, through California, I snapped random shots of the scenery while driving. Although this painting is from my mind, it's reminiscent of some of those shots though it really reminds me of a Colorado mining area above Telluride.
Some of my summer has gone to the garden, some to the house after lightning set the tone for new HVAC, attic insulation, refrigerator and soon, a new roof, to a part-time job, teaching, and every remaining second to my BIG NEW PROJECT. I keep wanting to make time to paint but must surrender to my current circumstance. Soon, soon...

glad life it keeping you busy Suzanne!
This is very different from any other of your watercolors. Suzanne, I really miss your frequent posts of watercolors!
Life sure comes at us, sometimes out of control, but I love how you grab it and go.
Very charming. I love the colors
She`s back!!
Wow, this is lovely, Suzanne!
Luscious colors in this one and it's more distinct than most of your others - perhaps it was the cleanness and crispness of the air or just the colors needing to be more defined. Whatever, I like it a lot! Glad to see a post by you but thoroughly understand that life other than painting often takes precedence. Take care and return more often when you can or when you want to do so :)
I know those problems, time is a rare and precious commodity. And yes, scanning large formats is a pain.
It's still feasible if the sheet is just twice the size of the scanner, but you need patience.
Your photo looks very good though!
Oh gosh Suzanne but we've missed you! Hope your life allows you to start painting your wonderful landscapes again, very soon.
Great colors and technique!
The calligraphy over the trees
is a beautiful finishing touch.
Oh Suzanne, you are not the only one! This is beautiful, and I'm especially admirative that you painted it fro memory!
