Cecile, Your watercolor "Railroad Bridge in Santa Fe" is so well done. It looks like you used a fairly limited palette and really made it work.

thank you yes it was 4 colors

The patterned effect of the ground is just beautiful! This is lovely

It is wonderful how you have been able to take such a complex structure and define it in space with the shade and shadow. The limited palette helps to prevent distraction to the subject and sets a perfect mood.

I need to add: the powerlines and evergreen on the right are important elements in that the keep the eye from falling off the right side (distance) and give scale. The more I look at this painting, the more I appreciate what you have done.

Very strong study Cecile.  I like the limited palette very much. I  was just looking at a Rembrandt pen and ink that has similar qualities. Where in Santa Fe is this?  I will be there in Sep. teaching a plein air workshop.
