Water-color weekend warrior

This weekend, I figuratively jumped head first into a large scale water-color.  The subject was one of my favorite designations as a child.  Timothy Lake.  It was a four hour drive to get there, adult equivalent of 12 hours.

The air was somehow sweeter, and the stars, well they somehow seemed brighter and clearer than any other place I can recall.  Ah, and the water on this mountain lake, was deep green and so very still.  This was my attempt to recreate that morning feeling in my  painting:
My second watercolor was much quicker.  A picture of a bird using a mottled wash as a background.

All in all, not a bad way to spend a rainy weekend in March.

Spring is on its way, I heard it from a bird.

Cheers,
Laura
