These gouache postcards are part of a large series where I will be aiming to paint 100 landscapes. These were painted in 2024.
Postcard 91 Red Dirt - While I enjoy the views around picnic point and adore the hiking, I am less a fan of the highly ironized red dirt that stains everything.
Postcard 92 Micro Cliffside - This tiny landscape was found along the dry riverbed of a waterfall, long dried up and dried out the erosion was left as a scar on the land.
Postcard 95 Sodden - The high waterfall over the past year was both heaven & hell on crops in our agricultural region.
Postcard 96 New Shoots - This newly established mangrove tree really thrived along this serene and deserted shorefront.

Thank you so much! I cannot wait to travel more this year and see even more to paint~
A lovely, diverse set of windows into the Great Outdoors!
All lovingly observed, translated and captures and shared –
thank you for being our gracious ovine painter guide!
Northwest: That red dirt does look quite striking and ominous.
Is that a natural phenomenon, or a result of rural development?
Northeast: That is a shame about the waterway drying out,
but as far as scars go, this one is very handsome.
Is it really silvery grey like that? When I first
looked at the postcard, I couldn't tell
if that there was water in there
or not, but then I read
the description.
Southwest: A superbly compact agricultural landscape with a story!
It fits the wild greens and the patches of cultivated land, the skies,
and the overly watered soil... Did you mean rainfall or waterfall?
Is "waterfall" a common term for precipitation down your way?
Southeast: The most magical of the four pictures to a Northerner,
those coast-hugging mangroves will never cease to amaze.
The colors are really vivid there, and beautifully contrasted.

The red dirt is very natural! A few local mountain ranges are so iron infused or on clay that is a deep red in colour. It is so beautiful in person but staining everything when living in it ahahaa, some of my hiking shoes will never not be orange.
It is! The area is very rich in limestone and has left mineral deposits all over the waterways. It is the same area that I painted a while back with the lime green water, it is a really interesting geological location.
We use both! Sometimes water fall can come in ways other than rain, so we count hail, fog and general humidity as waterfall.
It was so beautiful! We used to visit the area a lot more, my husband was originally from up north when we met. The wildlife, birds and shorelines are so breathtaking, we cannot wait to return and do some plein airs!
Thank you again for your support through this series! Sometimes sharing art on social media sites can feel like throwing things into the void, this really makes my day!

Thank you immensely for helping me fill the blanks
in my understanding of your beautiful land!
As I've said before, your intimate knowledge
of these parts, and the annotations you provide
make your landscapes so much more alive,
inviting and tangible! You are one of a kind on this site.
I thought you meant the orange iron dust only clung to trees and leaves,
but apparently it also clings to hikers, irrevocably tinting them? Wild!
Fair enough on the "waterfall"! We also call rain "showers"
without expecting to see a giant showerhead in the skies.
The oddities of language...
Hope you will get to spend more time up North sometime!
And never mind my comments, I just have too much time on my hands.
"Throwing things into the void" is still the default recommended expectation for publishing art.
