I am enjoying close up studies of the spring blossoms as much as I am the panoramic view of the landscape when painting en plein air this spring.
I’m not sure how well this subtle pencil and watercolor study will appear on computer monitors. I attempted to express the delicacy of the pear tree blossoms, a challenge when silhouetted against off-white, hot press, watercolor paper. I used yellows and lavenders as well as the grays and browns resulting from the mix of the two, sketched first in pencil.

These are lovely. They are sharp, yet delicate. I love to paint on watercolor paper myself.

Hello, I love this design. Would you mind if I asked for your permission to use it on a T-shirt I’m designing for my band?
