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 „wet meadows“ 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!

I think the water works well! The misty background is well reflected in the muted colours of the water and trees. Interest is kept up with the brighter grass.
Very nice painting!
