Description
This is a black and white version of the watercolor titled, "Napa Valley Rose." When the color version was first scanned, it was printed in black and white by mistake. As I saw it being deposited in the trash can as an error, it caught my eye and I rescued it! It reminded me of something antique, dream-like, almost haunting, like a memory of a lost love. (Thus, the title.) In technical terms, I saw it as a good example of an appealing value study, showing the whole gamut from white to dark.

I am happy that you salvaged this from the trash can! It is beautiful. Sometimes it is nice to see a normally full color image in black and white...it brings out the values and gives a different perspective. like/f

Great to know you see what I saw! It's actually a good way of checking our full-color watercolors for value contrast! A friend of mine who teaches asked for a copy to use with her students. Thanks so much for stopping by, Anne!
