The cottonwoods and willows along the shore of the Rio Grande. The bosque creates a lush environment in the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.  I saw the river with the trees as a living impressionist painting.  A lush environment in the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.

This is the latest in a small series I am doing around the Rio Grande river. Another  series of  watercolors working to achieve a minimalist feel. A fun way to bust loose and explore with watercolors using quick strokes with a Japanese writing brush on rough watercolor paper  11" x 15" image size, matted and ready to frame.
