Tenerife Mountain Teide

The Teide mountain is beautiful on all times of the day. This evening view struck me because of the layers of lights that are so clear close to the aquator.

English Cottage and Garden

This English Cottage and garden were painted to get a good look at the different shades and tones of the plants and really have the viewer take a mindful walk to the door in his or her imagination.

Merman's House in Delft

The Merman's house in Delft was painted after a picture taken in Autumn in

the sun and depicts the roof of the famous mayor in Delft who had this name.

The merman is shining in the sun and I learned in this aquarel how to create the illusion of gold and sunshine in the picture on the merman. I realised that straight forward blue skies are not in the spirit of an aquarel and that a blue sky that has a few movements and clouds is much more interesting.

In the full picture you can observe the trees standing out in the foreground just by making the roof a lot darker.
