Even before Darwin's HMS Beagle voyage (1831 to 1836) watercolor has been used to help us describe and appreciate the beauty of nature. Here's a lovely example of that tradition.
OblokMagellana
" You walk into the kitchen and on the table sits a mouse eating crumbs left over from dinner.." I expect the mouse to scamper away any second. Such a beautifully conceived moment in this artist's creative process.

Here's an example of the delicate softness watercolor brings to a concept and what better subject for this delightful design than Silent Night?
Lukasz-Ogrodowczyk
This beautiful and skillfully conceived composition takes me back to my own childhood - when art became more to me than crayon, paint and brushes.

Here again we find an artist with something to say - in an astonishingly bold style all her own.
NiceMinD
Watercolor brings life to landscapes like no other media. Here the artist doesn't focus on photorealism but on capturing the emotion and atmosphere of Charles Bridge for all of us to enjoy.
ferradaart
Another landscape - different in style assuring each artist watercolor will bend to their own perceptions - and while the artist lives in Chili Diane-Kay 's comment says it all. " Don't know where this is but looks like any town, Midwest USA. Very nice!!

I don't often watermarked art . Since this piece evokes such an emotional response, I've exempt it from that rule. Something about the joyful gesture of the guitarist and the loving patience of the dog who doesn't seem to be as lost in the as his master. This scene - created with a lovely translucent application of color - makes this image a keeper.
SuperImki
This is an interesting and skillful interpretation of the human face. Suggestive of a spiritual vortex sages claim to see, depicting mood and perhaps even a state of health. Very nice indeed.
CaptainNutmeg
Here's an exception to the group's rules - normally we do not accept images created primarily with acrylic. Here, however, the perfectly translucent application of paint, strong composition and vibrant color make this image exactly suited for display in watercolorists - and chosen as one of the best submitted in January 2015.
The following artists will not be in the best of January 2015 Poll as they are watercolorists moderators. I wanted to introduce you again to the people who make watercolorists possible by highlighting their work. If you have the time s and s s are appropriate thanks for all they do .
* SpaceCastaway
SpaceCastaway brings us the perfect intimate moment in this delicate embrace. Her intelligent use of color brings a gentle calmness to this delightful situation, greatly enhancing the work.
* phantsythat
phantsythat brings us a delicate balance of warm/cool, while intricate detail incites our imagination and satisfies our curiosity. Again and again we're rewarded with something we missed a moment ago - like skeletons dancing in the background. Perfect for children who easily intermingle magic and science in their fantasies.
* BlueCaroline
BlueCaroline brings us to her river. She immerses us in the coldest day of the year - where every instinct says, get indoors - but her masterful depiction of utter cold keeps us enduring and enjoying the bitter beauty of the scene. Think painting ice and is easy - think again
There you have it - the best according to me - but remember - art is subjective - and next month a set of will be making the decisions - also remember - once selected for the best of feature you're ineligible for six months. So, keep on painting and having fun and supporting watercolorists.
