I really like pine cones, there’s such variety across the various species. I like these for the shape of their seed scales, a wonderful drop-like curve.

Echinopsis chiloensis – Hedgehog Cactus
Echinopsis chiloensis – Hedgehog Cactus, casein, 9×12″, 2019, copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger The cactus grows not far from the house in Arizona. The media, casein is new to me. Totally opaque, it’s quite different from the watercolor with which I’m familiar. It’s like gouache. a lot easier than watercolor, it has a very different look and feel, very graphic an illustrative, less touchy feely.

Wild Apples
Wild Apples, watercolor, 9×12″, 2019 copyrighted with all rights reserved by Jean Krueger There’s and old, old apple tree at the Comanche Venable trailhead in Colorado. No one tends it now but the browsing deer. It’s grown scraggely and wide as the years pass. In spring its whitepink blooms billow in the montane sun. By September the fruit finally ripens to a sour, wormy greenred, hard and plump, abundant til they freeze and fall in the darkening days of autumn. The tree is a touchstone within my Rocky Mountain life.
