An Ent, doodled as I was testing out materials. I got watercolors for my Birthday as well, so this is one of the first images I made with them.

2010Jul 19tags: watercolorTo Grand-Charmont where I grew up, they built many buildings in the 70s. It was necessary to accommodate the workers come work at Peugeot.
Since about twenty years, they destroy little by little these constructions, as it was the case some weeks ago.
This time, I only had the impression of a collection of diverse and varied wallpapers, but there are about twenty years, I remember having seen demolishing the building where I had always lived. It is bizarre to discover the wallpaper of my room when a partition collapses and to see it disparaitre a little time after under the knocks of the crane. It is funny also to see the apartment apparaitre like a doll’s house. -
2010Jul 17tags: Beckwourth violet | ink | watercolorThis sweet little flower is the Beckwourth violet, also called the sagebrush violet. It has some sort of symbiotic relationship with sagebrush and they only grow together. The violet usually grows underneath the sagebrush, so it’s hard to see unless you are specifically looking for it, and it is actually much smaller than you see here, only about 2-3 inches high. I love it because it’s one of the few two-colored violets around.

2010Jul 15tags: High-Meadow June flowers | ink | watercolorThese are tiny plants found in high meadows at about 7000-8000 feet elevation. The meadows will not come into full spectacular bloom there until July and August. The yellow ones are a type of buttercup. The small pink one is called a California Hersperochiron, and the lavender one is a star tulip. They may be small, but they are every bit as beautiful as the more gaudy flowers.

2010Jul 14tags: Blue-eyed Mary | ink | watercolor | Yellow lupineFound these yellow lupines last week at about 8,000 feet where there was still snow in the shaded areas. The bottom more orange blossoms on the lupine are the ones that have been pollinated. They were just about the only thing blooming up there, except for those little blue numbers at the bottom which are called Blue-Eyed Mary. And what a view from up there. I took some photos and will probably paint some of those views in the winter time when I’m snowed in here, unless I have time to go up there again soon.
