New work!

I wanted to share this little botanical illustration!  It found a new home during the art tour, but first I had to finish it!  I'm really happy with how it turned out, and how my watercolor illustration skills are progressing!

I found this leaf early in the spring, right in front of my studio door one windy morning.  I don't even know where there is a sycamore tree nearby so I have no idea where it came from.  It was such an odd contrast to the newly emerging plants in my garden, and a reminder that even a curled leaf can be beautiful.  It seemed to be asking to be painted.

 There's more new work to come soon!  I'm still working on a couple of large block prints, and have some new Maine inspired drawings!
