This is a watercolor that I completed as part of a course sketchbook.
I worked from a digital photo that I took of a sunset as viewed from an old hayfield behind my house. I didn't dilute the pigments much -- it's pretty saturated.
I like to paint landscapes; I have no idea why.

Below is another watercolor, also based on a digital photo that I took of a poplar tree not far from the vantage point of the picture at left. This, however, is a morningtime view
Please excuse the slight ripples on the right -- sometimes no matter what you stack on the scanner lid, you're just not going to get perfect flatness. That it's watercolor paper doesn't help, I imagine.I tried a digital photo, but it just wouldn't come out right.
