“Fulmer Lake” - 15″ x 11″ - watercolor on paper

“Arroyo Rose” - 9 x 12 Raffine paper - plein aire

Cobb Estate Cypresses

Cobb Estate Cypresses 5″ x 8″ - watercolor
The Cobb Estate in Pasadena is a wonderful resource for artist, hiker and nature lover (also dog walkers.)

The plants were not my main interest here - it was the strong pattern of […]

Malibu morning

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

“Malibu Morning” 9 x 12 watercolor on paper
