Thanks Colleen and Silvana. 

Silvana, my focus during College was watercolors.  It is tricky, it does require timing, and it can be unforgiving.  It is not a medium that you can pick up every now and then and maintain your skills.  This is why I mostly paint in oils.  The upside is that is quick.  Once you get a handle on paint application vs. moisture content of the paper you can lay down beautiful wet in wet washes.  Then you can come back in and add you details with a dry brush.  Also the materials are not as costly as oils.

Beautiful watercolour Richard!

Richard, I love the way you manage the Watercolours!  I have never painted in watercolours... I suppose I should try once... people around this site have superb paintings in that medium, and it is quite a question mark for me.... Ithink it must be sooo difficult and uncontrollable....

Thanks Ann.  This one sold at one of the local shows a few years ago.  I might try it in oils.

The detailed brushwork on the trees is very well done.
