I chose this particular view on the trail up to Potato Chip Rock in Poway because it was a steady image, so I thought it would be nice for practicing plein air painting for the first time.

This one is my favorite pages. I did this during a time for reflection in Havasu, AZ -- I chose a rushing stream that split off in different directions to challenge myself and I'm really proud of how I did. I really wanted to capture the motion of the famous blue-green water that Havasu is known for.

I had never painted moving animals before, so this was a first for me. It was an experiment. Not my favorite work, but I learned a lot.
