I am calling this watercolor done so I can move on...I will get it to the printer this week to get a correct scan of it so I can offer it in giclees and cards. I still have not titled it but have thought of alot and only can come up with the obvious.,.Reflections of Page...and that is not what I want. But the title will come this week I am sure.
I have often wanted to do a landscape but they intimidate me because I am so unfamiliar with them. There are so few edges and yet you have to define the shapes so that it appears to be mountians and cliffs...I will do another one yet this winter I hope and then maybe it will be easier the second time around!
If you ever get a chance to go down the Colorado River in Page, Arizona you will be blessed spiritually. This is 3 hours of still waters...the rapids come right where you get off. You could not hear anything but the water and an bird every so often. It was as if I had taken a long nap as I was so relaxed at the end of this trip I could hardly stand up! ha! It was totally amazing and I want to do it again one day.

WOW thank you Helen and Iain! I have alot to learn about landscapes...wish I were quicker at it like you Iain!!
I have so many favorites of yours but again...perhaps this one is my favorite now. It is so calming just to gaze at it. I could look at it for hours on end. Bravo Janie! What a masterpiece!
Oh...and if you plan another trip there...can you please pack me in your suitcase?! I want to see this place!!!
Thank you Mary...it is nothing like your wonderful work...I want to grow up to be like you!
We need a better word than wow. But all I can think of is WOW. This is so amazing! Powerful! You've really done something amazing here, Miss Janie.
Lovely Jane! Brings back wonderful memories of our trip to that magical pace.
Thank you Diane! Wow is better than I expected so it is perfect! ha!
Thank you Debbie! It was almost sacred and I hope to return there some day.
This is simply gorgeous! All I can say is......you've got to do more!!!!
Soooo gorgeous! A title? "A Moment of Silence" ??
Impresionante. Ciao
Cannot imagine how you accomplished all of the detail and subtle color variations in the rocks and water. I would be hesitant to try something like this, especially in watercolor...probably would take me a year to complete. It is so realistic and so beautiful.
Your painting is gorgeous, Janie!!
This is just stunning! You did a fantastic job. I couldn't believe it when I read that you don't do landscapes! Let me tell you a secret.. you have mastered the landscape here my dear! So gorgeous! I can't wait to see the next masterpiece this winter! Jen
