Painting in Dogwood Grove
It feels WONDERFUL to be out and about in the land painting! At last, the weather is warm enough to paint without gloves, and spring is rushing in, trees and plants growing and blossoming. There's so many enticing scenes and subjects that I can't keep up with possibilities! What a wonderful problem/challenge to have! I went out with a backpack full of pastels yesterday to a friend's farm where native dogwood trees thrive, and have formed a grove on the hillside. I began one painting, and will return this evening, seeking ways to capture the beautiful rhythm of blossoms on these trees. Here's a photo from this special spot:

ReplyDeleteAfter living(and fishing) in all the rain you had when I was there, I can feel your joy at the first sunny warm days.
