What is it about tiger lilies that make me smile?
I think they give me a similar joy to the fuchsia with their movement and grace. It is almost like a dance as they develop from bloom to blossom to the final pose before their fall back to the earth.
One day, I got overly excited over a cluster of tiger lilies at a phenomenal garden we visited. Next thing I know the dearest man in my life, George, bought me a dozen tiger lily bulbs. He even helped me prepare the bed for planting.
This summer I was overjoyed with their presence and display.
Here is the first of my tiger lily paintings.
It is watercolor and ink. Stay tuned for the water-based oil painting..........

Sunday Sketches

Yesterday Maxine, Ray, and I hiked the Marmot Pass - Upper Big Quilcene in the Olympic Mountain Range in Washington. Amazing waterfalls in the first section, beautiful wildflower meadows in the second section, and scenic views of so many peaks from the top. It was a gruesome hike of 3,500 feet elevation in 5 miles, but worth every ache and pain.
The wildflowers were spectaular!





The view at the top of Marmot Pass was awesome!




I chose one of my favorite wildflowers to sketch: Wild Tiger Lily
