"The White Barn", 10 x 13 1/2, watercolor on paper

It felt like the time was right to paint this barn--stately with its red-centered tractor wheel and overgrown purple sage. This barn actually exists at Gospel Flats farm in Bolinas, California. It's a spot I've come back to for many of my paintings, as it's so rich with inspiration at every corner. Everything screams to be painted!

Cow Parsley, watercolor on paper, 13 3/4 x 13

Finally, something a little new....It's inspired by some Cow Parsley I saw while my husband, dog and I were hiking by the ocean. I love how sturdy these plants are and how beautifully white they are against the darker landscape.

Dogwood Blossoms, Yosemite, 19 x 15, watercolor on paper

I can't get enough of Yosemite...this painting was inspired by a particular Pacific Dogwood we saw while waiting in traffic (!) in the Park. I got out of my car and photographed these blossoms. I loved the irregularities and imperfections of the petals and yet how stunning they were against the deep purple of the woods.
