Painting Out Back

For several months, I've wanted to paint this scene out in the backyard of my apartment complex. It is a late afternoon view where a building from downtown is a nice distant blue behind an large old tree on a hill. The other day I was grilling out back and I did this watercolor. This color blue is perhaps my favorite color. Usually, I like it best on a distant mountain. But the way the light hits this building, it creates this color very nicely. It's so nice to have a paintable scene like this at home.
