Storybook Lane

This was one of a few, smaller paintings where I completed a series of watercolor landscapes showing backlit trees in a forest, but never really felt happy with the final product. 

The following year I went back and revisited them, applying a new eye and a new set of skills and have ended up with a small series of work that I love.  I call them my 'Little Gems', because they are small but pack a big punch.

Storybook Lane is a great example.  I really like the combination of the lime green foreground leading across a bridge into the distance peppered with pink blossom trees.  It reminds me of a fairy tale forest, with a path leading the reader into adventure.

"Little Gem" paintings include Storybook Lane, Sunrise in Spring, Basking Bluebells and Lemon Sorbet Too.
