Eucalyptus Tall and Thin, Watercolor

The dark background really makes the subject pop forward.  I had fun making up the shapes of the shadows and giving it a sense of light. The nature of the tall and narrow plant called for a long thin composition. This is 1/2 a sheet of Arches Watercolor paper.   15x30.

Available    $750.

WInter Eucalyptus

As spring approaches I am more tuned into the beautiful parts of the winter garden.  Before all the bones of the landscape become hidden by the profusion of greenery, I am noticing the great shadowy shapes created between branches, berries and sticks.
