It's good practice to paint everyday when possible. I always carry a little book around with me to record something that catches my eye or just to pause and create something. This practice keeps the mind focused and the drawing practice fluid.
I painted this yesterday amongst other watercolors I have been working on. The landscape itself is imaginary. The figure is an interpretation of me from a few summers ago while visiting the Clark Art Museum in Williamstown, MA., with my wife. I had been looking across the reflection pool they have. However, I like the more organic landscape which you see here. This is not a criticism of the Clark campus which is lovely and memorable.
In addition, I believe the touch of red in the sky, makes this image special if for no other reason. This reinforces the importance of experimentation when painting. This gives me something mentally to chew on in anticipation for when I next pick up a brush.
