Blue is the Theme

This is today's watercolor done inside with a group of other watercolor enthusiasts. This winter's snow has vanished or at least a majority of it. Thus, this is a memory of our winter. However, the sky was a dominant blue nearly every time I went cross- country skiing.

The apple tree in the foreground cast the deepest of the blue shadows. There is so much temperature when you paint with blue that the mood dominates the scene.

This photograph does not do justice to this watercolor. It makes the whole scene very moody. Actually, it looks like an evening scene on one of the coldest nights in winter.
