Nothing Like a Tree to Paint

Painted 3 watercolor scenes with different trees. Just when you think that you have it, you run into difficulty with trees. This is what I found when out plein air painting this past week. There is so much foliage. These leafy things are so vibrant in the spring yet, it is a challenge to separate them when you want to paint groupings. Early spring still shows a skeleton that is a great help but then they mesh together and form forests. The scene of 3 on the bridge was from a sketch I did of 3 generations crabbing in a stream. They use chicken parts and net the crabs. The little ones love it.
