Here are a few examples of the watercolors I've painted in Yosemite over the years. I am no landscape painter, I hasten to add! I consider myself primarily a portrait artist. I usually don't have the proper "feel" to do effective landscapes. And I am not totally satisfied with these watercolors - but I think I can do a passable job painting Yosemite, because I love it so much. |

These watercolors are painted on "postcard" watercolor stock. They are postcard size, and if I had wished, I could have just addressed any of these postcards and mailed them! For traveling, I use a very compact watercolor set (Cotman Field Box) which I can take anywhere. It makes painting anywhere I go on location so much easier! With
these paintings, I certainly sometimes had to be resourceful when
choosing a suitable spot to sit and paint. With Mirror Lake, I just
sat in the sand by the Lake, and painted! I got a bit sandy, but who
cares? The experience of doing the painting was the greatest reward.

I remember plopping myself down in the middle of Cook's Meadow to paint this particular watercolor. It usually takes me an hour or so to complete a painting.
