Watercolor on Arches 140lb. Hot Press 6" x 9"
Summer 1996. From balcony of Apartment in Hendersonville, TN. It was done in a late summer evening and I remember the heat and humidity. It was one of those days where it seemed that the air was heavy and still - like everything was pressing in on you. This painting has annoyed me ever since I finished it. That pine tree on the left with the curving top is my main problem. The actual tree and horizen did look like this but I wish I had not depicted it literally. It reminds me of the art in a Dr. Suess book. This reminds me that it is sometimes a good idea to adjust the composition - I think the problem is knowing that while you are still working on the painting.
