El Molino Afternoon
11 x 14 oil on board

Not too long ago I did a plein air watercolor sketch of this beautiful eucalyptus which stands along one of the pathways in Pasadena’s Arroyo Seco. The morning light was bouncing off of the ground and causing some of the ragged hanging bark to glow with […]

“Return to the Poppy Patch” 9 x 12 watercolor
