Dear Readers, I'm sorry that it has taken me so long to download this image. I decided to change the computer so maybe I'll add images with just my Mac instead of the Dell. I also learned from my artist friend, Mary Richmond, not to make my images such a big file so I hope this works from now on or else I will use www.typepad.com instead. I painted this watecolor as a demonstration for my watercolor class at The Cape Cod Museum of Art. On this blog is also the same marsh only a summer view. I wanted to show the class how to paint a wash using a 1 1/2" flat brush. I also wanted to show the water's edge is painted in a series of steps without painting the land 's edge on an angle. This way the water will appear flat and not as if it is going uphill. And the last point I wanted to make is to get down when taking photos or viewing the landscape in order to get the foreground over the horizon line in order to make a more interesting view. This painting is 20" X 14" in a 26" x 20" mat.

glad to see you have worked out your problems. You may find moving your blog not worth the effort since you'll lose posts and momentum. As long as you can upload your images why not stay where you are? Your images look great, by the way!
