New to the 'Morning Walk' series

'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.

Another of my 'Morning Walk' series

 The Prickly Pear cactus is a Mega Power Food. The entire plant is edible, and it has a myriad of health & healing benefits.

I spotted this one on my Morning Walk and it joins that series. 15x11 watercolor on 300# paper. I'm calling it 'Prickly Power'.

Another new one!

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.
