| Yosemite Moss, watercolor on paper, 15 x 22 |
Lately, I've been spiritually compelled to paint trees, specifically the cedars, sequoias and pines I saw in Yosemite. "Yosemite Moss", a painting I posted on my blog earlier, is the first of what will be many paintings celebrating these "ecstatic beings" (as I like to think of them). And this painting was
just chosen by the judges of the
Yosemite Renaissance XXVI competition to be in the annual exhibition! Thirty-nine artists were selected out of 210 contestants, so needless to say, I feel pretty lucky.
Next step is to get it framed with Plexiglass for shipment by early February.
On February 25, the doors open at the Yosemite Museum Gallery for this year's show. Awards will be announced at the opening reception, 5:30-7:30PM and come May, the exhibit will travel! I don't know where, but I love the thought of all this Yosemite beauty as a movable feast for the eyes.

Yay! I knew it would happen! You are a wonderful painter!
This painting is beautiful! Congratulations for being recognized.I'm hoping the "tour" will come to Minnesota.
nice touch you've got there, Kate! Love how the blue green wash pushes the tree forward and the negative space for the twiglings almost has a scratched-in feel to them combined with the loose but sure way you handled the bark on the foreground tree. Very nice .Dig the spontaneity!
