Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day.

Beautiful Colors
I just had to share the view we have from our front porch - this beautiful maple tree in our neighbors yard across the street! This is the most astounding the colors have every been. The colors are so intense they take your breath away!
I love the tree. Have you found that when you paint trees like this, they don't sell. I have found only a few of my autumn paintings have sold. We only want to look at autumn in autumn! So 3/4 of the year people are not in a hurry to look at gorgeous trees. Why is that?
The trees were definitely showing off before we left on our short trip south - now the rain has beaten all the leaves off and the ground will be covered (when it dries) with gold, red, russet, orange, yellow, and green! Love autumn! Thanks for sharing this gorgeous tree.

Oh wow! That is a glorious tree! I have so little experience with changing Fall colors that it is a treat to see this.

Gorgeous tree, thank you for showing us. I love Fall too. Our colors are slow to turn this year so this will "tide me over" for a while.
