I love your fabulous wet-on-wet watercolors (a technique that has so far eluded me). The colors and freshness are great, and the way they truely evoke the scene. Hope you keep finding time to paint and time to post!

That's exactly the way it feels here today!

You have a special brilliance with color.
Love the way these all flow together letting the water settle them into the paper and blend with other colors.
Nice

Oh, this is beautiful! I love the blues and purples, the bits of sedimentary color, even the texture of the paper adds to it. And the way the sky merges into the ground is perfectly evocative of this season, with its early morning fog and its sense of mystery.

It's so nice to see your wonderful work again Suzanne. Your watercolours have such depth and colour and this one has a hint of sadness to it!

Says it all with so few words (or strokes). A Marvel!
