spanish creek, 16x24cm.
3:16 pm: i’ve been waiting for the mosquito infestation to die down so i could get back into my 2-3X a week plein air routine, and today was the day. a tad oin the hot side, but no mosquitoes!
so i made 2 watercolors. what’s interesting about them is that they’re a departure from previous creek watercolors coloristically, particularly #1, where we see the influence the yellows and pinks i used on my most recent oil: celebration 20. looking at it sitting on my table, adjacent to last years plein air creek watercolors, it almost looks as if it were done by a different artist, except of course for the movement of the marks, which are unmistakably tarlow.
