I really love your mastery of greens - I, myself, have never been able to get it right when dealing with so much green. Your play of colors against each other always makes your paintings sing. I feel I'm there, walking the path.
Thanks, Rhonda. I really appreciate your comment. Greens are a challenge, especially the more subtle desert greens. Sometimes they appear gray or dark blue, and then the light changes and the same grays and dark blues morph to different shades of near-green.
Thank you for visiting my blog. Please spend some time here. I hope you enjoy my paintings. I'm not a professional artist--although I've sold paintings--and I don't have aspirations for becoming one. The fact that I enjoy painting is all the motivation I need to keep dipping the brush and slapping on the paint. I believe there are thousands of other painters who hold a similar philosophy. As you can see I have several categories (collections) listed below that you can view. Once again, enjoy your visit. Bookmark and return again. I appreciate your kind remarks.

Once again, Brent shows his mastery of greenery, trees and vegetation. One of the big challenges in watercolor. That's why I keep coming by.
