These are two flowers that indicate WATER. Wherever they grow there will be water seeping either a little bit above ground or just underneath the ground even if all around is arid and dry and dead.

A home in the town of Katonah, NY…a favorite place of mine. It is full of lovely houses and sidewalks to walk my dog Smudge. I did this drawing while giving a workshop so if forces me to work quickly…this is good for me, it makes me give up control =)

I found this wonderful shady place by a little creek that very few people know about since the entrance is all overgrown. My little dog and I spend a lot of time there when it’s really hot, and I can let her run loose because there’s really no place for her to go, while I paint or take a nap. The other side of the page, shows some of the plant life in that place, but the whole page didn’t scan which is why it’s cut off.

Sometimes when I’m painting I have visitors who stay a while, and when they do they get included in the painting.

tags: ink | Pink pussypaws | watercolor
This was truly an amazing sight. I went for a drive on July 2nd up into higher elevations, and I’ve always known there were hillsides covered with pink pussypaws, but I’ve NEVER seen them in such abundance. I rounded a corner and they were even in the middle of the dirt road, covering everything. And right at that point my camera battery went dead, so I sat and sketched the pink phenomenon, but came back the next day with my camera ready—because it may be years until we see such a sight again. On the right in the circle you can get an idea of what the plant looks like. It is a rosette, only grows about 4-6 inches high, and the pink blossoms stand erect when the ground is hot and lie flat when the ground is coolish. We had some late rains in late May and very early in June, and that’s rare, so this may be the result of those late rains. I may drive up there again because it was just soooooooooooo gorgeous!!!
