Seeing the moonrise over Lake Laguntias was a perk of working late because of a lost hiker call. The hiker was during the hasty search and I got to see this after clearing the call #moonrise #lakelagunitas #mttamalpais #mttamwatershed #landscapephotography

Turret spider burrow. They are related to tarantulas and can live up to 16 years. They are found only in California and live in moist forests. They build “turrets” on the forest floor and cover the sides with plant material to camouflage them. #turretspider #mttamalpais #naturephotography

TBT This was 14 years ago on Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County. March is when the rains started and I would stay sane by wandering up in the mountain.

I'm taking an art bootcamp class this semester to review basics: color theory, composition, perspective, etc. In-class assignment was to go outside and draw a variety of thumbnails in different aspect ratios, then pick one and paint it using a limited palette at home. I really like a square format so I settled on that. We are using a limited palette of Winsor & Newton Gouache for our paintings (red, blue, yellow, green orange, violet). I am using them very diluted for a more watercolor effect. This was painted on 12"x12" Arches Cold Press.

This is a #Painting of #MtTamalpais from a roof garden at College of Marin I did for a class there. I liked the juxtaposition of the sharp metallic object (a vent maybe?) with the soft meadow and the mountain backdrop. See alt text for the specific assignment details. #ArtYear #Marin #Watercolor
