Watercolor spring

"Prairie spring," 9 by 12 watercolor, 140 # d'Arches
Spring bush 3 " by 3"
Spring is watercolor time it seems to me...colors and fluid life. These are studies based on hints and compositions from Ray Campbell Smith, the Brit artist. The third book of his I've bought arrived today, by "Royal Mail" from UK. I'm indebted to Ian McKendrick @WatercolourJrny for introducing me to his work.
