Purple Mountain Majesty

12x6 watercolor on 140 lb Strathmore cold press paper, brush only, done this afternoon of an imaginary mountain scene.  Orange and pink skies dominate the landscape while evergreens and pink wildflowers guard the purple snowcapped range in the distance.  Splatters were done when dry over foreground for varied dots indicating blooming meadow plants.
