Tookany Creek Nocturne

Exploring the depth of darkness is a challenge with watercolor paint. It takes layering and a good deal of color mixing (my favorite is prussian blue and sepia).

This nocturnal scene is of Tookany Creek at High School Road seen during my walk home from the train station several weeks ago just after a snow storm. It felt absolutely magical.

Thank you to all who have followed along with my artistic wanderings this year. I wish you many blessings in the New Year!!!

Thanks, Michelle! You'll have to check back when it's hanging at the cheltenham art center in May to see if you experience the same feeling. There days of bitter cold certainly help the imagination for a snow scene.
