Here goes post #1!




Well, I'm finally doing it. Hoping to post here as close to daily as possible and step up my painting momentum. Living in San Diego now and loving the warm weather and BEAUTIFUL light. How can I not be inspired with a picture right in front of me ready to be plopped down on paper at every turn? Right now, San Diego is in the midst of a purple tree "explosion". Jacaranda trees are in full bloom and their color has to be seen to be believed. Neon lilac is maybe the closest I can describe them. Passionate purple and so gorgeous!

The watercolor was done last week in Balboa Park. The statue fountain was especially attractive to paint with the halo of light framing her from behind. Had a relaxing time doing it as it was a weekday and much less crowded that the weekend  we had visited the park previously.
