Casein on Panel 11X14″

A friendly hiker told me she calls this the Umbrella Tree, the lovely sycamore showing its winter colors just above the point where creek forks in Cold Springs Canyon. I’ve been so excited to get out and paint the creeks flowing with water again. We could use a lot more… I hope El Nino pays us a visit this spring!
