This is a Trumpet Vine. In this series I concentrate on close up portraits of flowers in my neighborhood. I just discovered that my camera phone allows me to change the depth of field of my subject after I have already taken the picture. That is amazing! I used that feature to blur the background […]

This watercolor sketch was very difficult to do. The ‘leaves’ of a pine tree are so thin, they are called needles. The reference photograph shows a complicated interplay among the pine needles that gracefully arch downward from their origins in the pine cone. I started with pen and ink to draw the trajectories of the […]

I was struck by all these leaves sprouting from a central point. At first I thought there were 8 leaves, but when I started to sketch I saw the 9th hiding behind the others. I would have expected the name of the tree to have some kind of reference to 9, maybe in Latin, like […]
This collection of green leaves is a watercolor study in green. In this quick sketch, there is some variation in color among the leaves. With more time I could carefully calibrate the greens to greater effect.
