California Redwoods

Mushrooms and moss cover the trees at Armstrong Woods State Park in California. Nestled along the coast, one can find these trees thriving in the misty weather resting near the Russian River in Sonoma County. Every time I am blessed with the experience of hiking there, I am fascinated to find new images in the trees and surroundings. I have created three Tiny Painting Series from this magical forest along with larger works such as, “Growth,” and “Resolute Protector.” The larger painting titled “Growth,” won First Place in the Nevada Watercolor Society Fall Show in 2022. Both larger works are available and I have a few of the Tiny Paintings left. I hope my love of the Redwoods is visible in these works of art. Here are the two larger original watercolors that are available. I love how they look side by side and imagine them hanging in someone’s home just like this.

Another enjoyment my husband and I love to experience is looking up at the tree Canopies. We love to watch the leaves or pine needles dance in the wind while the clouds float overhead. It amazes us to see the trees reaching up as high as they can and try to get as much sunlight as possible. I try to show these magical moments in my series titled Canopies of California. The sun, the sky, and the trees all dancing in movement together. I have three out of the five paintings left of these little gems.

I hope these paintings bring light and love into your homes along with a bit of wonder. I put the links to each painting below, you just have to click on the one you want to view and the link will take you to the specific painting on my website. If you have any questions about the paintings or how to navigate my website, please contact me via my contact page. I would be happy to help with any questions or concerns. Have a terrific Thursday and thank you for reading!
