“Beaver Skull, Winter Light”, 9/5 X 9/5” Contemporary fresco. Having visited this favored beaver skull before, this time I used a new medium (watercolor), new board (Aquabord) and winter light. For whatever reason, this time the beaver's smile became more apparent. I have a feeling she will be painted again. Framed in a beautiful handmade burlwood frame, ready to hang.

Joshua Tree Watercolors by C. Twomey
Joshua Tree rock formations, watercolor.
Such a magical, beautiful, quiet place. Joshua Tree National Park is like no where else on earth. Plates collided causing underground volcanoes and incredible rock formations. The Joshuas aren’t trees at all - they’re from the Aqave family and even just the small ones are 50 - 75 years old.
