Kate's Updates! New Painting!

Yosemite Moss, watercolor 15 x 22

This painting is the first in what I hope to be a series of tree-inspired pieces from Yosemite. What captivated me, and I hope this comes across here, was the moss and the delicate, etched branches against the dark background. I spent many days photographing only the branch-work and bark textures of all the wonderful sequoias, cedars and pine found in this park.

Lower Yosemite Falls!

My husband and I finally made it to Yosemite this past month,
and I was not disappointed. We got drenched here and at Bridal Veil Falls. Everything was lush and the sun was warm. We made it to Glacier Pt., the Mariposa Grove, the Wawonna Hotel, and even an outing on a steam-train just outside the Park. It's a do-again trip if ever there was one!  I suspect I will be painting many cedars and Ponderosa pines in the near future (so look for those paintings here...!)
