atop rattlesnake

I think I must paint this tree every year, or at least take a photo. I like the way watercolors do what they want, and I can’t spend a lot of time worrying about it. (surely more serious artists have a lot more control of the medium, but I enjoy its spontaneity)

ALT: watercolor depicting a tree on a rocky ground, with a mountain range in the background (old New England mountains, not the jagged forbidding kind) if you look closely there’s a person standing by the tree, almost transparent.
