Parrsboro Pine WC 8x10


Parrsboro Pine
8x10
This spruce has been standing on the edge of the lawn at the cottage in Parrsboro for the last 12 years but when Don and I arrived there this year, no more tree! There were such violent Ocean storms that the erosion this winter was heavier than usual. I did this watercolor last October when I was up there. Glad I caught this magnificent tree, then. I love this place.

Mary, this is lovely. I am so glad you captured the wonderful tree in time. And also glad that you are feeling better!

This is a great little painting and how nice you have a piece of history. I'm not used to seeing your watercolors..

I love all the pastels in this---I mean pastel shades of colour. But I guess you knew that. enjoy the cottage.

I love the washiness of this, and the strong composition! You are doing real well for a gal with a bad back!

Oh Ive missed a few posts, your blog hasnt been updating in my reader so Im glad I came by to see where you were (youve been here the whole time!!!) Anyway..... Sorry to hear you have had a bad back, I know exactly what that is like, I had to leave a job I had years ago because of this problem. Everything is such a task and more tiring when you are in pain. So hope you are on the mend soon. Love the painting, it looks like such a beautiful spot. What a shame the tree is no longer, but lucky you captured it when you did X

I really like the colors, lights and darks in the logs.
