Portraits v. Landscape v. Still Life?

[Jean Kelly]

I'll be doing some plein-air now that we're in our new home. This is one I did last spring. The colors blew me away when I saw this little area.

I really enjoy seeing everyones landscapes and still life. It is important to be able to do both and even an abstract once in a while. It kind of loosens up the mind.

Lovely, Jean! I especially like the way you did the leaves against the water.

Hi Jean,

Lovely water colors.

Landscapes are perfect to practice the abstract qualities on.

My old garden have provided me with many motives and never complained that "there is something wrong about the mouth".
This painting is from 1974 and the same place as the other. This was done in one sitting.
