If this was Acrylic on Canvas like most of the not-so-great paintings here, I would probably hate it and say something like "Blue and grey and black, what the hell is wrong with you? Do better!" But in this case the artist in question has A) used a medium (watercolor) that makes up probably 1% of our total paintings, and 2) actually not done too terrible of a job of it. The trees, while black and gray, aren't bad. The mountains are nice, as is the sky. There's something about this painting that will not allow me to be too critical of it. Other than to say "Artist: avoid black, grey, blue and purple as you would the plague. Go brighter, not darker. Day, not night."
I think it was Goethe whose last words were "More light!" That's what the art world needs: more light!
Keep at it, Michelle :)
