Scenes from the North Cascades. I saw the marmot moving through the grass north of Glacier Peak, and the fat pika calmly regarded me from the rockfall at Hopkins Pass five miles south of the Canadian border last September.
Watercolor on paper, 4.5" x 6"

More small watercolor sketches. The point of these was to practice drawing grass, so that happened. I'm a big fan of the idea that if you think you can't draw something, try drawing it a bunch of times. Eventually, you'll get better. The other option is to avoid drawing it at all costs, and nobody will ever know.

One of the most surprising things about the PCT for me was how many burnt stretches of trail there are. The ones in Oregon and Washington tend to have dense fields of fireweed.
