ELLIS WATERSHED WINTER MORNING

I associate painting in the same location with Monet's haystack series. The angle of the sunlight, moisture in the air, and the growth of various grasses and bushes change with the seasons, even in coastal Northern California where we don't have dramatic changes like the east coast. I have been to this place many times, and each time I see it a little more.

ELLIS WATERSHED

The Monday morning class of Camille Przewodek often comes to this watershed area in Petaluma to paint. During the rainy season lots of grasses grow and as time passes the colors vary from greens and golds, to reds and purples. Observing the color there again and again is reminiscent of Monet's haystack series. This was done on a sunny morning.
