Tree at Mayyan Ooyakma

Small watercolor painting of a tree at the Mayyan Ooyakma open space preserve in San Jose.

Sometimes when I'm out on a hike, a particular tree strikes me in a way that makes me want to paint it. There's nothing special about this tree or this rock formation, but, in a way, that's what drew me to paint it. I like to find the beauty in the ordinary, plain things if I possibly can. Trees are our friends, and I was glad to see this young oak at Mayyan Ooyakma in San Jose.
