Snowcapped Mountains/Alpine Meadows/Rushing Water

We stayed for a week in a cabin along Icicle Creek in Leavenworth, Washington. The east-facing peaks of the Cascades, still snowcapped, contrasted with the lush, new green at the lower elevations. Everyday, we hiked--in the towering forests, along rushing creeks and rivers, to a glacial lake, through alpine meadows filled with spring flowers. I drew less than usual because I felt flu-y for the first 3 days.

    1. The Watercolor Artist article gave me renewed verve and confidence to keep on keeping on with my limited paint box and a media I've found difficult. So, again, Cathy, thank you for that.

      And so pleased that you like my result here.

    1. Feeling blah with great views isn't bad. It was just frustrating for those 1st few days to not feel compelled or able to catch an imprint of the grandeur. So I'm thankful for coming to and getting what I could.

      Thanks so much Barbara that you like!
