Watercolors are my newest experiment, and this painting turned out well for experimenting, but I didn't care for the paper. Next time I will use a 100% cotton paper for the durability.

Reykjavik in watercolor
Reykjavik houses are known to be painted in bright colors. I think one of my favorite qualities about this northernly capital is the bold colors they paint their homes. This is a simulation from a photo that I painted in M. Graham watercolors. I used a lot of colors with cadmium in it, and I love the bright opaque qualities of it.
Smoky Mountains in Autumn
I have only seen the Smoky Mountains in summer, and the area between Tennessee and North Carolina is truly stunning (and this is coming from someone who lives in the PNW!). Now that it is fall, I can only imagine the fall colors exploding throughout the Smokies, even with gray skies. Many of my paintings have bright blue skies, but the lighting that a cloudly gray day gives can be just as beautiful (again, PNW native here). Here is my perspective of the Smoky Mountains in October.
