January 2016 Day 5 Painting Challenge

The Forgotten Fruit

Day 5 of Painting Challenge...my theme for the week is landscapes, but after doing this tree and setting it aside, I thought it looked better in a different orientation. When I paint abstracts with watercolors, I turn the paper in all directions as I work so there is no particular way it has to be. I keep painting on it until it seems to work in any direction. How many times have you done a painting and discovered it looked more interesting when cropped or rotated?  And so it is with this piece. 

The Forgotten Fruit is made of Corriedale, Merino, silk and beads.
