WJG in The Redwoods' Garden


Our Watercolor Journaling Group met at The Redwoods' Garden this morning. 
It was nice to host an outing that was in my "back yard". 
I brought down some treats and drinks and had them out for us on the table. 

My first page was this cabbage. 
I had a hard time capturing the color of the blue/green leaves with my small travel palette. 
It was absorbing to really look at the colors and try to do them justice.


Then I moved on to this whimsical lady that one of my friends planted with succulents.
 Her hair do was fun and matched her personality. 
Claire works in the garden as do many of the other Redwoods' residents. 
Right now, I am just "playing" in the garden.

I didn't realize cabbages grew off the ground like that. I think you did a good job of capturing the leaf color. Nice job on the succulent holder too. It's nice you were able to hostess your group in your own backyard! Before you just had your balcony.
