Watercolor Paintings by artist Diane Dubreuil

New Milford, CT has an extraordinarily beautiful town green surrounded by lovely colonial era homes and buildings. On the north end of the town green is the historical society and museum. Anyone can go there and learn wonderful things about the town's history. On the south end of the town green, a street extends south and is also lined with beautiful colonial homes. These areas are a painters dream! Having said that, I find myself painting this spot each fall and many springtimes. In spring, the yellow forsythia bloom against this large red brick building. In fall, the trees' leaves turn all varieties of yellows and oranges. One time as I stood painting, a woman and group of children in colorful clothing came across the tracks to watch me. I've resisted the desire to include people in one of these paintings, but that painting will happen. Spring of 2011, I returned to make another painting (to be shown at a later date) and caught the lights flashing and the train's engine stopped on the tracks. The subject invites big shape-making and lots of color. As watercolor artist, I'm looking for areas and reasons to connect light areas and make interesting descriptive patterns while leaving something to the viewers imagination!
