9" x 12" Watercolor

Sorry for the long absence from blogging. I have been painting though, just working, traveling, etc as well. This is one of my favorite spots, looking west from the top of the Santa Cruz mountains. I am going to do some more studies of this over the next few months, testing colors and levels of detail as an exercise.

My sister and aunt started a succulent fabulousness craze that has spread to me and my friends as well. I don't know what this one is called, but it has blue-green leaves with a more yellow-green stem and reddish tips. It was fun to paint and I think the colors came out well. I may try another darker wash over the table for more contrast. Oh, and I still need to add the shadow!
