On the Sunny Side

(C) 2026 Dale DiMauro
 

Months ago this watercolor was started on my watercolor block. However, the landscape was not conceived or even developed at all. So it sat on my paper - until a few nights ago. 

After all the disturbing news this country develops, on a daily basis, -  I aimed to give this house a sunny disposition even if it looks of Caribbean influence. The vivid colors and lush foliage gives this landscape an exotic feel - in strong contrast with the cold snow-covered surroundings of southern Vermont.

I think preserving the white of the paper is critical is defining the various edges of paint from running into each other. I feel warmer and calmer just looking at this image.
