Sunday Sketches

Getting excited to see color and spring flowers after the doldrums of winter!

I am intrigued by the unique looking Hellebore flowers. They come in various colors of purple, pink, green and also white. They are a wonderful delight this time of year and bloom for a long time. They have been a subject matter of several of my paintings and sketches.

Color Combinations

Last fall I got obsessed with planting tulips and daffodils. Knowing I would love the spring flowers unfolding, I lost track after 300 bulbs. In fact, I forgot which ones I planted and where!

The tulips and daffodils have been a pleasant color sensation amidst our dreary, rainy spring.

I must share with you the color combination that is unfolding before my eyes. Dark, dark purple, almost black tulips and apricot pink tulips with a backdrop of yellow daffodils and green foliage. Absolutely STUNNING!
