Sun Valley

Here is a watercolor that was just wonderful fun for me to do. I did this in a wet in wet method. As it gradually dried more detail was added. This is a designed composition, not found. You can see many of the principles and elements of design used. Of course I am a colorist but I spent many years in local colors when painting. It always makes me feel somewhat restrained. Do you feel that way. I paint more semi-representational leaning toward abstract. Give me your feedback.
This is approximately 15" X 22" on 140lb paper.

I hope you like flowers. When I paint them it's generally in an abstract way instead of totally representational. I leave that to you talented photographers. Enjoy and leave comments.
