Horizon in Blue -J. Krogh Colwell

Original 1985 watercolor titled “Horizon in Blue” by Pacific Northwest artist J. Krogh Colwell (Judi Krogh Colwell). This elongated panoramic composition features a serene, atmospheric landscape rendered in soft washes of blue, gray, and muted neutral tones, with distant tree forms reflected across calm water. The minimalist, semi-abstract approach and fluid watercolor technique create a tranquil, misty quality. Signed by the artist along the lower edge and documented on the reverse with the title, date, medium, and artist's name, accompanied by the artist's original Olympia, Washington business card. Professionally presented under glass with a wide neutral mat and slim silver-tone frame. Colwell is an Olympia-area Pacific Northwest artist known for watercolor and fluid-pigment works; archival Olympia Arts Walk listings also document her exhibiting fluid paintings.
