Turner Inspired Watercolour

This is a watercolour that I called 'Turner Inspired' for obvious reasons. I entered it in the Daphne Young Watercolour Art Prize, and I was very pleased it received a "Commended" Award. I enjoyed making this abstracted landscape using free loose brushstrokes. Mind you, I did a few unsuccessful paintings using a similar technique, before I was happy with the results. That is the thing, when you are being very free, the paintings will not always work, but I am learning all the time, so none of the unsuccessful paintings are wasted, even when I throw them away. They are all part of the creative process, and the development of the painting that does work. I love leaving my paintings open to chance and going with what comes, rather than planning them precisely.
