Hill poppies

My annual hike up the hill to sketch and admire the green grasses and local poppies before they disappear. I can actually see the hill turn more orange as the day progresses and they open more. The 16×8 inch frame gives the watercolor an arts and crafts period touch.

Nicole’s Oak

This beautiful oak is in Lucas Valley, California. I knew when I saw it that I wanted to paint it. It is now in a home nearby with someone who admires it as much as I do.
