Wet meadows, Odenwald
I haven't posted anything here in a long time. I hardly painted at all over the winter, and this year, apart from a few sketches of trees, I only have two watercolors, one of which you can see here. The watercolour depicts the โwet meadowsโ in the neighborhood. I was inspired by the reflections, the old half-rotted pieces of wood and trunks, and the flooded grass.
I struggled a lot with the water surface; it came out too bright, and I had to apply several darker glazes at the end. Hope you like it - every comment is welcome!

Just beautiful! I struggle so much with painting water and reflections!
