More sketches from the winter wonderland of Yosemite. Bottom left is a sketch I did at the John Muir performance.
John Muir (21 April 1838 - 24 December 1914) was an American environmentalist, naturalist, traveler, writer, and scientist. He is, however, probably best remembered as one of the greatest champions of the Yosemite area's natural wonders. He thought that nature was a primary source revealing the character of God.
"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing to the roaring storm, waving, swirling, tossing their branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease." ~John Muir~

These watercolor landscapes are so delicate!
Great paintings!.. I hope you have a wonderful 2009 with a lot of great art works!..
Thanks for sharing such cool quotes from Muir. Your paintings are equally good.
Did you know that Muir was Scottish? It's neat to me that a Scotsman came to America and helped us preserve our natural forests.
the oldman (John Muir?)sketch is great
Hi Alina, what a beautiful work. You are very good on it. I love watercolor but I don't know how to do it. I do oil painting and actually I am painting with so much pleasure that some times I don't even see the hours.
Congratulations. I will return here to see more lovel works.
Bye and have a good week.

Thank you all for your kind words.
Jeremy,
Thank you.
I am not familiar with John Muir until the trip. He is a very facinating and inspiring figure indeed. I didn't know he is Scottish. I am hoping to learn more about him. I saw a play about him, it's very good, and filled with his adventure stories and poems. Now I want to pick up his book and learn more about him. :)
LuisNCT,
The old man is the actor, who played John Muir. He is very good, with a belivable accent and very knowledgable with Muir's life and story. He even grows the beard!
Awesome Watercolors Alina! Awesome!
