"Blue Moss"

What had initially started as practicing using limited colors, this watercolor piece ended up in the portfolio. A bright trail of blue undergrowth leads through the trees and hanging Spanish moss that falls down in dry, elegant lengths.

When visiting family in Florida, I would watch tourists drape the long scarves of Spanish moss over their head or shoulders, unaware or unconcerned that the moss can contain mites.
