testing the watercolors, again

It's been a while since I got out the watercolors to make a painting. Have I missed painting with watercolors? Probably a little. There is something so satisfying about watching wet pigment spread and mix on the paper's surface. Yet it's a daring adventure too,  bordering in the edge of chaos, as you never really know exactly what you'll get. Last week's delightful  visit to a nearby farm inspired me to get out my watercolor palette and load up my brushes once again. ​

While at the farm we met the animals.

And enjoyed the enchanting view from their front porch, which was the inspiration for my painting above. All in all, it was a wonderful way to spend an early spring afternoon here in our Southern mountains.
