Last Week my
Rhododendron was in perfect bloom. Spring this year has been spectacular with all the rain we have had. I had to take some pictures so I could try to paint them
I have been really busy so no time to really spend hours painting, so I have to be satisfied with just quick sketches... I always leave my brushes out, and paints ready for a moment to pick them up and splash on some color on a white page....
This is a gorgeous
Peony, they bloomed this week, so camera was ready. Just look at the color in this white bloom.... I will have to try and get that on paper.
These are my sketch book sketches.... just quick and loose, but it sure is fun
My little house wren comes around the garden in the evening and sings the most melodious song... and of course the hummers are back... oh they are just lovely to watch.
When I have long periods of no
painting... I study my favorite watercolorists, like Homer, Whitney... and here is Jamison. He does wonderful daisies.... His book, Capturing Nature in Watercolor is worth reading and studying...
enjoy your garden.... :)
