At Cuivre River State Park near Troy, MO. Wikipedia thinks that this is a widow skimmer dragonfly. Watercolor trick: Derwent paint in background, Gansai Tambi in foreground = transparent wings. #watercolor #Missouri #nature

An F-3 tornado hit the northern edge of Forest Park in St. Louis on May 16. In this area, many homes were damaged, and many old trees were uprooted or split. This patch of trees near the Visitor’s Center is trying to make a comeback two weeks later.

Ugh, watercolor dilemma. I needed a big sheet of paper for a tiny detail, but the big sheets wrinkle too much. #watercolor

My “window” is a darn near perfect 30-60-90 triangle that formed when one tree fell between two trees that had grown up side by side. Newman Trail near Valmeyer, Illinois.
