Winter at Riverwalk

Watercolor on 100% Cotton – The Langton Prestige 22” x 30”

Riverwalk is along the banks of the Eel River in Fortuna, California.

I painted with a variety of brushes, as well as with some natural materials to create texture such as burlap, sticks and asparagus ferns.

My husband and I celebrated our 24th anniversary in San Francisco. This was the view from our hotel in Japantown in my watercolor sketchbook.

My daughter Andrea and her husband Matt are San Francisco business owners of Aspect Framing Studio and Art Gallery. Daphne was guest designer one afternoon while my husband Greg and I went to San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for our 24th wedding anniversary.

Daphne cried while we were gone, and Andrea had to hold her.

All was well when we returned to the shop.
