Birches in the snow


Birches are wonderful to paint in watercolor.  They usually turn out well even if you aren't a seasoned painter.
I am trying to do a series of them because I love them so much.  I had three beautiful birches in my front yard in my previous house. In this new house, I have planted just one, but with multiple branches.

Ocean dunes in watercolor

A very simple watercolor with an emphasis on clouds which take up two-thirds of the paper.
