Spring Nudges Santee Lakes

The San Diego Watercolor Society met this morning at Santee Lakes, just east of San Diego. We are moving into spring here, although without as much green as usual since we have had very little rain. The bare trees across the distant hills gave a consistency to the background and a contrast to the small Live Oak trees in the foreground.

This is a 12 X 17-inch gouache sketch on black paper.
