Kate's Updates! New Watercolor

My latest watercolor I'm working on!

This is from Fairfax Fresh, an organic lemon farm the next hill over from me.
It's a gorgeous piece of property, and the owner, Patti Elliot, is a wonderful
host. I went here two years ago as part of Art on the Farm. I didn't make the actual group date, so she let me come on my own a few weeks later.
I couldn't get over her four Greater Swiss Mountain dogs, her view, her pet lamb, vegetable garden, view of Mt Tam from her hilltop and, of course, her koi pond. 
I may try this painting a second time, working it less and trying to see if I can leave more white space. I'll keep you posted!

Oh, Kate! This is beautiful! Did you show this to Patti yet? I love it.

Thanks, Colleen! I had a a lot of angst going into it, but I like it now---whew!
