At this time of year the plant growth is so lush, green and layered that it is hard to comprehend the complexities of the natural world. And I am speaking from the state of Vermont where we have had a shortage of rain since winter.

All this greenery is reflected on our ponds, rivers and lakes. Of importance, is the habitat it provides for such a wide range of birds and other forms of life. Within walking distance of our house is a great heron which frequents a neighborhood pond while providing quite the sight when landing or taking off.

I have been experimenting with this Masters' Watercolor Paper since winter and I have to say I really like this paper. This was painted on one of two watercolor blocks that I purchased at the time. Both consist of this rough surface which leaves a lovely silky surface after the pigment dries. Also, it feels like I am painting on a thicker and more elegant surface.
