New Mexico Storm
watercolor
Day 8
Our afternoon stormy weather will soon be gone and the clear
blue skies of fall will be with us.
A fresh week starts with the
Leslie Saeta 30 in 30 Challenge
I have enjoyed seeing some amazing artist's work and I would
not have known about them if it wasn't for this challenge.
Our thanks to Leslie...again. Hope you take the time to check
it out .
So gorgeous, Julie. I've lived in Arizona and been through New Mexico and know that there is a special kind of beauty there. So, your monsoon season is coming to a close, eh? I loved the monsoons of summer when I lived in Tucson. Gorgeous skies! Welcome moisture!
ReplyDeleteThis is really wonderful. You have fully accomplished fracturing with watercolor. I fracture with oil paint but then it is long gone when the end comes. Teach me again?
ReplyDeleteOh Julie! What drama and beauty this work has! I love it!
ReplyDeletelovely art!
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning. Your fracturing technique always works well, but is especially wonderful in helping to describe a rainstorm. Wow.
ReplyDeleteFracturing works with watercolor! This is quite fresh and beautiful. It certainly conveys a feeling of rain in the desert.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I love this painting! We need to trade artwork one day....
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolors and I would agree this one is simply gorgeous. I too am from the desert and think the colors there are wonderful. Keep this up!

ReplyDeleteI love this piece and all of your works. This is an especially moody painting that has such a soft and beautiful feel and great color. I can see how your oil painting technique has influenced this and also how your watercolors influence your oil paintings. Great to get to know you through this challenge. I have been following you since the last one in January.
this is gorgeous!! I still don't know what this fracturing technique is but whatever it is you're doing it works beautifully here!
ReplyDeleteMood, color harmony, value, color hue, subject matter, texture, ALL exquisite in this piece!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! The colors, technique, subject are just perfect. I can almost hear the rain falling. Wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to walk in the rain...lovely Julie.
ReplyDeleteI like following this challenge too...it's fun to see what everyone is painting.
Your work is stellar, Julie. And now you are fracturing your watercolors too...wow. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better watercolor to express the rain! Here, too, began a period of rains with thunderstorms ... temperatures will drop and summer becomes a memory. Your watercolor tells it ,so straight until heart.
ReplyDeleteNice to see so many artists at work through the challenge of Leslie Saeta!.
This is beautiful! Just beautiful...so fun to see what everyone in painting.
ReplyDeleteWow! love your style!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie, you brilliantly captured the wetness in this watercolor.I really enjoy your paintings...keep them coming and happy painting. Egretta
ReplyDeleteJulie, I'm delighted with your watercolor fracturing!
ReplyDeleteThis gives watercolor completely new horizons.
Beautiful painting, Julie! I love the dramatic feel. The strong contrasts and the bright and neutral colors make this one of my favorites. Great work!!
ReplyDeleteSo nice Julie. I can feel the storm and see a lovely dark path that takes me through the painting. How much fun you are having with watercolors.....
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing your studio tips, the glass illustration was especially helpful.
ReplyDeleteWonderful watercolor Julie! Love the stormy sky with that bright green tree!! I notice here, when the sky is dark or stormy the greens really look bright...just like this one!
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful Julie. The adobe is just so solid! I don't know how to say it in another way. I just really feel the depth of this excellent piece.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS painting!! Love this one!!!!
