Kate's Updates: Hidden Pond Watercolor & MPC Anthology Cover!

"Hidden Pond", watercolor and book cover for Marin Poetry Center Anthology, 2010

This painting was done for my husband and I finally got it back today from the framers--much to his delight! I am equally happy to have this image selected to be the 2010 book cover for the Marin Poetry Center's Anthology, Volume 13. I've been very fortunate that they have selected my artwork for the last 6  anthology volumes!

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!
