Little Stream
This piece is bursting with greenery from the meandering stream at the base of the mountain. Mixing these green hues was an entertaining practice that added dimension to the cascading mountain top.

Bright Star
For the second winter scene I wanted to create a deeper color pallet. I took a slightly different approach to make the mountain in this piece because the center of the mountain has a line leading down whereas other designs leave an empty space.
Thankful Trees
This was the second piece I made in this collection before I realized I was making a collection, hence the slightly different painting technique using wider brushstrokes. While painting I was playing around with the way two shades interact together and then against white paper.
Bunnies
The bunnies are out and hopping in this piece featuring a bright green meadow just below the mountain. To create the meadow I followed the same technique from the river painting, individually drawing each blade of grass.
Cherry Blossoms
Simple scribble brush strokes make up the haphazard tree while shades of green scatter the mountain top. I mixed colors ranging from lime green to army green to create the dynamic mountainside.
Skiing
This piece was a big step outside my comfort zone as I rarely paint winter pieces and never paint people, but I knew that if I stuck to the minimalistic painterly style I have been using for this collection I would create the vision stuck in my head.
Pumpkin Patch
In this piece, pumpkins sprinkle the mountainside asHalloween approaches and the children prepare for trick or treating. I loved making these cute little pumpkins and the more I just let the paintbrush scribble away the cuter they became.
Lavender Field
This piece was the initial inspiration for the Seasons of the Mountain Collection. The simple lines and vibrant colors of this painterly watercolor mountain seemed so simply pretty that I wanted to make more… And there the collection was created.
