Goodbye year...

 Let the new year be full of warm and happy colors throughout! 

Yet, blues are fun, especially when you give up control and just watch what happens on the paper

Several interpretations of this photo that I took from the car while traveling in Cape Breton. I liked the directional clouds, but of course, didn't like the railings in the front. The beauty of painting, is that you can get rid of any unwanted objects and change things the way you like them.
Not having painted for a long time, it took me several attempts to get to the fresh look of the watercolor above.Then experimented with acrylics, with different colors, one with a palette knife only and the other with brushes.
