Windmill

I wanted to try a new method on my collage, so I cut the pieces into rectangles and some squares.  I thought a windmill would be a good thing to experiment with. It was unbalanced I thought so I added a couple of black birds.  I tried blue in the sky and didn't care for it, so I went back to the white.

It is 18x18 on stretched canvas.  It was fun to do, thinking about what a precious commodity our water is , and unfortunately is dwindling in our area.

A Quiet Place

Keri and I found this place while we were in Wyoming or Montana, a few years ago.
 I am not sure which because it all ran together for miles and miles!  It was so beautiful and quiet there.
Art Colony has a challenge each month, and for April it was water, so this is my painting for this month.
It is done on Windsor Newton hot press paper and gouache. It has a different look than transparent watercolor.
