Take a Journey

The Road Less Travelled

A watercolor from the mountains of
Sierra de Espadàn Nature Park, Spain.
This is a beautiful area for hiking. There
are many trails lined with oak and cork trees.

Take a journey this week with Illustration Friday
and go have another Paint Party.

    I could actually sense myself walking amongst those trees feeling the heat of the sun on my skin.
    I know I always say this but you have the most amazing talent.
    Hope you are well.

  21. At first I immediately thought Robert Frost, one of my fav poets but realized slightly different in title.This road could be one described by the famous poet.....serenely beautiful and so well executed. A really great capture of a country road.
    Makes me want to go for a walk in the countryside now.
