watercolor 21 13 x 20”
3:50 PM: i completed watercolor 21 about an hour ago. i like the way the space is broken up, and this one has definitely not been pushed too far.
a language has been emerging over the period of time i’ve been making these watercolors. it’s a result of our frequent walks and our almost daily observation of the creek and all the rocks and branches we encounter along the trail. when the time comes, likely within a few weeks, to go back out and paint plein air, i’m anxious to see what effect all this has had and how it shows up when i’m sitting out there on my 3 legged stool with my little portable table.

8:06 AM: another magical walk yesterday; i shot some photos that may be useful for future paintings & surveyed the territory for potential future plein air painting locations. i think it will be safe to go out on some of those trips with my mentee k., if his dad is willing to drive him & pick him up. i’ll post stages of the new watercolor later today, once i get to work.
here are a few of yesterdays shots
