Tropical Tranquility

TRANQUILITY
Watercolor 11x15

How do I classify this painting? Not a landscape really, no flowers anywhere, there are birds but not alot of detail on them - I had started this watercolor quite a while back and it was in my pile of  'to finish' paintings. I loved the colors and the hint of leaves but there was ALOT of negative painting that needed to be done to add definition, so I rolled up my sleeves and went for it. I love the way the backgroud colors weave their way thru the composition, creating a sense of peace and tranquility!
