Quiet Backwater Reflections

Over the past year I have been participating in some on-line landscape classes presented in the form of webinars by Johannes Vloothuis. Johannes is an American landscape painter who is a wonderful teacher - taking time to point out the essences of what makes a good landscape painting. Here is one of my paintings after listening to the course on water and water reflections.

Although still primarily a floral painter, I have been dabbling in landscapes more and more. I started landscapes a couple of years ago, using pastels. I really enjoyed pastels but had to stop using them because of the dust, and landscapes never worked for me in acrylics. I now enjoy using oils so have once again I have begun exploring landscapes.
