Beautiful sunset

While running errands "down the hill" in Antelope Valley, my daughter and I were treated to this beautiful sunset. I wish I'd had time to paint it but I knew it would disappear FAST so I settled for a few digital pics.

More of my favorite subject (Yosemite)

These are the latest "morsels". I am pleased with how I created the waterfall in this watercolor of Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park. I've struggled before with water since it's (usually) in constant motion. I haven't known how to capture it in a way that I was satisfied with the finished result.

I feel like things are *starting* to click better in my brain. Things on paper are closer to how I'm seeing them in my head. I have a long ways to go - but I do feel like I'm on the road.
