Love the reflections in the water especially, and how accurate your depiction of the trees is for the life of me I cant paint trees well, and I have been trying for years.

(119,259 posts)12. But you do those wonderful pastel paintings, of which I am in awe!
Who needs trees?
Watercolors sure are challenging, aren't they?!! Looks like you've mastered them.
