'Alt Route', 15x11 watercolor on 300# paper.
We have a lovely trail that runs through Livermore; I can access it just .7 mile from my apartment, and then walk several miles in either direction.
This alternate path winds through the woods on the other side of the Arroyo Mocho trail. I was struck by the contrast of red leaves and green foliage one morning. It was a painting just waiting to happen.
The Prickly Pear cactus is a Mega Power Food. The entire plant is edible, and it has a myriad of health & healing benefits.
This old barn at Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore intrigues me. I take photos of it almost every time I visit the park. Think of the history; barns were literally the lifeblood of farms everywhere.

I just dropped off these 22x10 watercolors to be framed.
These are all part of a series I'm doing featuring the Sycamore Grove Park here in Livermore CA. We are so very fortunate to have this outstanding park! I hike there frequently, and never tire of the painting-worthy scenes.
The building was an early winery here, abandoned years ago.
There are often cattle grazing on the adjacent pastureland. Can you spot the three on the ridge above the old barn?
