Daydream

Daydream
watercolor
11 x 14 inches

I am still exploring compositions gathered from Raven Rocks overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This painting comes from my first batch of sketchbook studies, looking for those spots of sun and shadow on the mountains while exploring more personal color choices and methods of paint application. I am enjoying the process of seeing where these paintings will take me.

It is not the sentimental viewpoint but the earnest seeking to see beauty - in the relation 
of one tone against another - which expresses truth - the right attitude. If you're a thoughtful humble student of nature, you'll have something to say - you don't have to tell a story. 
You can't add a thing by thinking - what you are will come out.
~ Charles W. Hawthorne ~
