A friend posted her dinner view from Puget Sound last night. I decided to paint it. I really like this one for the deep sunset color and water variations. Was a good lesson!

I love making these! Naturally downed birch from my yard (thank you winter windstorms 🙄). Wedding gift for a couple of Alaskan love birds. ❤️

Watercolor attempt #3 of my grandparent’s house. Was going for some whimsy, added tulips. My aunt painted the footprints in the 70’s. She is putting them back on this summer! This is my ❤️ place.

Boreal forest, Rat Ponds trail. My fave place to ski.

Landscape practice! New natural bristle brushes for this tiny painting. I really like this one. I started drawing it in class Saturday and finally found time to paint it.
