Rainy days are good for the plants but not good for the watercolour painting. I took the opportunity to do another installment of the world inspired landscape series, this time based on Austria. Since the library opened I Was able to borrow a book on Austria and learn more about the mountainous country. The library only allows reservations and pickup, they limit the number of people actually in the library. Austrian landscapes tend to be soaring mountains and lush turquoise lakes nestled between valleys. In the book, they had a picture of a motorcycle driving down a winding road paved in interlocking bricks which gave me the idea for a mosaic style. It was a way to breath life into a design that could otherwise look like a post card. There is nothing wring with postcard designs, but I am trying to go for some interesting stuff with the world inspired landscape series. There is a page with all of them, the pages are in the drop down menu, or on the sidebar menu.
