Baobab Tree


The Baobab tree is impressive. They are thousands of years old and its bark and fibers have many uses like food, dye, rope, and clothing. It is large enough to house 25 or more people and canoes have been carved from the trunk. This is a watercolor of the Baobab tree in early spring in Africa. It is painted on watercolor paper with MaimeriBlu paints.


Stand Back

Named this watercolor painting "Stand Back" because that is exactly what his body language is saying. He was making a clearing for his family to pass through. They are beautiful, family oriented, and bigger than life. Painted with MaimeriBlu watercolors on watercolor paper.
