Camellia on College Avenue

2014 National Watercolor Society Membership Show, juried by John Asaro. NWS Gallery, San Pedro, CA

I've often admire the camellia that is a few blocks from where I live, and specifically how the fallen blossoms carpet the lawn below. As I was scoping out the scene and thinking about my composition I decided to include the view down the sidewalk and street. This helps convey how the camellia provides random and luxuriant beauty in my suburban experience.
