California Farmhouse

California Farmhouse – Aprox 9″ x 12″ – watercolor

While I continue to work on my big painting (yes, I finally put brush to paper yesterday on that snowy white sheet) here is a painting I did a few weeks ago as a practice using warm and cool colors alternatively. The actual scene was rather lackluster with uninteresting lighting so I decided to spice it up a bit using a range of colors typical of the California scene painters of the 30s and 40s.

I might paint this one larger, too, some day.

OK, back to work for me …
