Edge of the Forest

6x6 inches

 I just finished this watercolor/gouache from the same photo that I used for the little oil painting below. They were both from a photo I took a couple of summers ago while looking for orchids near the Bartlett Cove Road.

The watercolor looks more like the photo, but I like the light in this one better..... this scan of it could be better.

Middle Beach

oil painting 8x10

This is the upland area of "middle beach" in Gustavus is between the Salmon River and Good River. We that live between the two rivers call it our beach. There are no roads to it and it is part of the Nature Conservancy. In the spring it is very colorful with flowering sweet gale and rusty colored horse tail.

I painted this from photos  and two little watercolors that I did at the  beach in May.  You can see them on my other blog.
