View of Rocamador, Fr 2011



This was painted after I returned home from a watercolor workshop in France with Karlyn Holman in Sept. 2011. We stayed at Le Vieux Convent in Frayssinet and traveled out each day to a different town to paint. This painting is of the view of the town of  Rocamador as we approached it.

Griffith Quarry, Penryn, CA





This is another calendar page of my 2012 desk-top, postcard calendar of stone work in Placer Co. It is the Griffith Quarry in Penryn, CA and I'll have to add the year it was built later.

Canal Stone Bridge, Auburn, CA



My calendar theme for 2012 is "Stone Work in Placer Co." so I've featured, houses, walls, fireplaces, and bridges in stone and this ink/watercolor painting is of a stone bridge over a canal.
