Night Driving – Original Watercolor Painting

Night Driving is an original watercolor painting by Ellen Jean Diederich featuring a Coachella Valley landscape.

Behind the piece: Driving down roads introduces us to many beautiful views. Despite the fact that the road is often my direct point of view, many times I compose to avoid or limit the space it is allowed.   In Night Driving, the road takes center stage. The white line along the side of the road is a comfort. It was a good thing Paul was driving towards this big blue mountain that mesmerized me. There is nothing like watercolor to capture the light as the sun’s rays slip to the other side of the mountain. I love this tiny little painting that displays the glow of our man-made lights in early dusk.

This original watercolor painting is 9 1/4″  x 11″ and framed at 17.5″ x  19″
