Favorite Tree
9" x 9" watercolor
Arches 100% cotton hot press

With this painting I didn't come at all close to my intention to portray this tree more loosely than the last version. However, once I cropped this painting (see the full painting below), the gold warmth of the left horizon line did speak to me. The foreground lavender shadow did something for me, as well, after the crop.

Finding these little places here and there to appreciate--it gives me hope and keeps me hooked.
