Weary Spirit Renewal ~ SOLD

"It is not so much for its beauty

that the forest makes a claim

upon men's hearts,

as for that subtle something,

that quality of air that

emanates from old trees,

that so wonderfully changes

and renews a weary spirit."

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

Only six more paintings to go to meet Leslie Saeta's

30 Paintings in 30 days challenge!

January has gone by so fast!

I'm looking forward to a little slower pace

with my painting in February. Still charged up,

I plan to continue to produce at least

four paintings a week next month.

OK. I said it, you saw it,

now I'm committed.

Thanks for your interest and feedback.

It really is most appreciated.

There is trouble with the trees

For the maples want more sunlight

And the oaks ignore their pleas."

Ancient Sequoia Trees is #9 of my 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

inspired by quotes about trees.

Thanks again to everyone for your feedback and enthusiasm for these small watercolors on Yupo paper! I am enjoying working on this synthetic paper, because I never really know how it will turn out. I put my marks down in ink first and then just try to go with the flow, letting happy accidents happen as they may.  Yupo pushes me beyond my comfort zone and makes me constantly stretch my skills.  I'm excited knowing that I'll be learning something new each and every day during this 30 in 30 journey.

And YOU help keep me focused.

You've given me the feeling that I'm on a good course with these

little trees and for that, I am truly grateful.

Thank you for stopping by!

through the deepest snow to keep
an appointment with a beech tree,
a yellow birch or an old acquaintance
among the pines."
