I am a watercolorist living in the desert Southwest, a native of that area. My husband and I enjoyed traveling in our motorhome and I have taken many photographs to be used as reference photos for future paintings on these trips. I have been painting since 2000, it is a passion for me and I have enjoyed exploring all the different subjects to paint; landscapes, florals, portraits, etc. Please feel free to comment below or at susanroper@cox.net.

Fall Foliage on Yupo
After the critiques I got on this were considered, I broke up that large green shape in the corner and tamed it a bit by adding some of the warmer colors from above. I like it better now and am considering this one finished.
Thanks! I like it better now, too. I needed to be less literal with my reference photo and not put that big evergreen shrub in there in the first place. Better now, though.
Just enough change in the green to make it fit the rest of the painting and work better :)
