Had a few min to paint & wanted to try new watercolor I bought on whim: Schminke Shadow Grey I meant to just make marks on 6x8in paper, but I got distracted & started trying to paint tree in fog. Oops. Hard to stay simpl . Tree didn't work for me, but I like shadow grey in sky #art #painting

Small watercolor painting of large conifer in right hand foreground against a background of landscape & sky in fog. Painting by Ellen Friedman Aug 2025.

Thanks, Glen. Inspired by a tree in fog in Monterrey from last summer. I'll try it again at some point and get the fog to extend to the tree! 😄

Fog is so gorgeous and must be difficult to paint!

Just "playing with paints" is beautiful!

This photo definitely doesn't do the actual painting justice.
