Lovely, you really have captured the mist perfectly and this is not easy to do. The watercolour underpainting is nice too. I like the way the path leads you into the painting, great colours. Wish I was there Loriann it looks peaceful and most of all the green colours and rain are so much more welcoming than the big white out outside! Big snow here!
I love it when you paint in California.
So dreamy looking ... misty but not cold. Aren't you supposed to be relaxing out there, eating cookies or something?
Your paintings inspire me to try it - and trust me - I have NO talent!
Hi Caroline, thank you so much about the painting. Peaceful it is. the rain has made me slow down . The combination of vacation and my usual responsibilities absent has made my pace come to a screeching halt. I was doing a little grocery shopping and I noticed that for the first time (since I can remember) I was not in a hurry. My heart rate was slower. This rain is a good thing. Snow sounds nice too. Have you posted any more snow pics?
Hi Sam and thank you!!!
Hi Donna! I am relaxing, seriously...but there is ALWAYS time to paint. The family does sleep.
Hi Comedy, Thank you. A little secret... trust me, it really isn't about talent as much as it's about discipline and passion.
This is such a beautiful painting - it has made my day.
I do admire your consistant work at a painting every day come rain or snow or fog.
I agree, a beautiful little painting. So soft and atmospheric. I love the muted colours and the way you've so expertly suggested mist and gentle rain. Lovely.
Beautiful, atmospheric painting, Loriann! Very nice use of a secondary triadic color scheme and wonderful soft edges. Enjoy slowing down and have a restful vacation!
Hi Carol! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your very kind words!!!
Hi Theresa! Thank you. I am so happy to hear my suggestions of rain worked... now if the actual stuff would stop falling!
Hi Brian! Thanks for your comment and compliment. You caught me again with that triad! Have a wonderful holiday!
This one strikes a chord with me. Marvelous!
Try to get a hold of some images that Russell Chatham did in California. They provide inspiration in the same vein as you are going - shapes and abstraction. Also, atmospherics.
Thanks Casey. I appreciate your kind words. I remember Russell Chatham I will have to research his paintings on the internet while I am here. Thanks for reminding me!
