Watercolor Wednesday Week 19

I recently found a link party (blog) that does Paint Party Friday and I linked my last weeks watercolors up and was so surprised at all the comments and nice words. ( Like 25!!!)  Thanks to all who commented and made me feel accepted and good about my art work.   



I had my mom in mind when I did this one.  I hope she can tell where it is.  She and my Dad spent their honeymoon here.  (Maroon Lake and Maroon Bells Peaks, Colorado)
I am  pretty happy with my work this week.  I can tell I've improved over the last (almost) 5 months.  I'm getting more comfortable with the paint again and I am thinking of doing a full sheet here soon.

    This pine is wonderful! Love the landscapes too. If this is five months of progress, I am impressed.

    well. watercolors are a challenge for me, to say the LEast.
    Yours are pretty freakin cool. I think my problem is that i cannot think that fast - okay, my hands cannot coordinate that quickly with my brain...
    so my watercolors look like paint time in kindergarten. you watercolors look... cool and well done.
    rock on, watercolor landscape princess :)

    Love your watercolor landscape. I have a hard time trying to "control" my watercolor work hence dare not give landscape my try. Looking at yours maybe I should ... well done! :)

    you are wonderfully talented with watercolours. these landscapes are amazing-mind tend to look like big blobs of muddy colour but yours are so crisp i can nearly feel the cool mountain breeze!

    I'm very jealous - would love to paint watercolour landscapes like these. Love the wishy washy pines in the background of the first one.

    I love your tree. Watercolor is hard to handle and sometimes it gets out of line...but that is the fun of it. It is spontaneous and moves! It is by far, my favorite medium.
    You are doing great!

    I also prefer to paint in watercolor and have been painting longer but am not nearly as accomplished as you. Your tree is gorgeous and I still haven't figured out how to get those smooshes in the background to look like distant trees like yours do. Practice I guess. Beautiful landscape!

    These paintings remind me of the summers we used to spend up at a beautiful little cabin in the woods when we were kids. :)

    These are both beautiful! I find landscapes very difficult. I'd be thrilled if I could turn out ones like these.

    These are both gorgeous! So light and fresh! I tend to get a bit heavy handed with my watercolors.
    I switched to Mixed Media recently, and when I tried to go back to watercolor for some quick projects, I just couldn't wrap my head around what I needed to do....I felt like I had forgotten how to use them...haha!

    I love your style...and subject! Trees and forests are my most favorite place to escape :)
