Below is a painting entitled "California Gums". We have a lot of eucalyptus growing in Southern California. Having lived in Australia I enjoy painting our local gum trees.
More Gum trees (eucalyptus), above is a watercolor I did on location 9 years ago. I used it on one of my first calendars. I found the digital file of it today.
