This was the one I decided to enter in the State Fair. It was rejected. So, moving on....

| DC New Life and Old Moss, watercolor, 9x12, 2011 |
This one I started on my trip to DC when I went to a farm that has a name I have forgotten. I just finished it a few days ago. I like the blue in the middle, although I have no idea what it is doing there. I think showing just a suggestion of the rotten log looming over the fragile little plant is something I might try to do again.

| Gooseberry Falls, watercolor, 9x12, 2011 |
We went camping on the north shore of Lake Superior this past weekend. I enjoyed putting the color down wet-in-wet, and then it was so sunny it dried almost right away and I could add some detail. I had to stop before it was done. I may still add more value contrast to this one.

| Knife River, watercolor, 9x12, 2011 |
This one was just something to do as I waited for the rest of my group to be ready to go to Gooseberry Falls. This was 10 feet from our tent at Knife River Campground. I highly recommend staying there. The guy who owns it is refurbishing an old boat that is way cool. We were there with some other families from our neighborhood. The 10 year old boys in our group were playing at the edge of the river as I was setting up to paint this. "What's that? Oh! It's a rock!" "Are you going to put in the graffiti?" This one doesn't feel done yet either, perhaps I should put in the graffiti? Or perhaps the boys all trying to stand on the rock at once?
