A Touch of Red - Snowy Lancaster Landscape

This is my newest weekly watercolor.  9 x 12″ image size, this is watercolor on paper, stretched on canvas stretchers like an oil and varnished.  The sides are painted and it can be hung as is or framed.

I love traditional watercolors, but I’ve been trying many different substrates – the aquabord (masonite) and stretched paper, both of which can be varnished and just hung up, no glass, no mat.  At the galleries, my oils have been selling, but I’m eager to try displaying some of the new watercolor types. I expect watercolors framed like oils will sell like oils, as they have a nice look.
