New painting: The Longleaf Forest

Posted on April 2, 2016 by brendastevens

The Longleaf Forest was inspired by the forest on my father’s land where I loved to roam when I was a girl. I’ve recently learned about the great Longleaf forests that once covered the southeastern United States and the fascinating story of the Longleaf Ecosystem. I thought my ancestors were pyromaniacs, but it turns out they knew what they were doing when they “burned”.

Seven students attended last Saturday’s Watercolor Crash Course! We painted Seascape, one of the newest subjects for that course. Even though the day was cloudy and cold, the large windows banking the classroom provided beautiful light. It was a wonderful experience for me; great students, great classroom.
