Day 5, painting #2, Joshua Tree, California inspired by @usinterior. Adding texture to the rocks… Fun Fact: Known as the park namesake, the Joshua tree, Yucca brevifolia, is a member of the Agave family. (Until recently, it was considered a giant member of the Lily family, but DNA studies led to the division of that formerly huge family into 40 distinct plant families.) Like the California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, the Joshua tree is a monocot, in the subgroup of flowering plants that also includes grasses and orchids.#nps100 #centennial @nationalparkservice @joshuatreenps #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #rebeccashapiroart #wip #workinprogress #watercolor #funfact #FYPyes #joshuatree
