A 70 ℉ spring day gave me a chance to toss my watercolors and journal into a backpack and hike the state park with my oldest, Sarah.
We hiked down to the lake, and found where the road to the swimming beach was closed to vehicle traffic. The entire berm of the road had washed into the lake, and with it went two mature trees. While Sarah explored the area, I sat nearby the washout, and sketched the scene with Sakura pan watercolors. I have the Koi Pocket Field Sketch Box of 24 colors, and they delight me to no end -- very portable, with bold, bright colors in just the right hues.
