Pleasure in the Everyday

5/7/2015

 
I've really been enjoying my longer walk home.  The beautiful tulips standing sentry in sidewalk  gardens.  Huge lilac bushes spilling fragrance  along my path.  Cats watching the passersby from their windows.  A section of sidewalk carpeted in white petals from a row of crab apples.
These beautiful everyday scenes inspired my work this week.

Finished another magnolia painting this week
I spent an evening laying in the grass looking at the pattern of tree branches and the bright yellow-green of the buds against a fading blue sky.  I managed a few sketches.

Nature art this week! All of it is beautiful. I like the glowing colors of the magnolia painting and the composition is fantastic. The bee study is super-cool and there's a beautiful detail-pattern across the page int he BW studies. It was a good week's work.

Nature is one of my favorite inspirations and the bee was a happy find. What beautiful detail in those delicate wings.
