In the Woods

Listen to silence

Birds bid farewell to the day

Night begins to wake

Art Prescription: As we each search for a new temporary normal, I’m spending more time walking.

I love the Woods, and am particularly inspired by my neighbor’s tulips.

Very loose watercolor. May add pen and ink.

Field Sketching

Final leaves rattle

A spring cold front moves on in

Tiny wildflowers

I have to say that every painting and sketch I worked on today quickly became over-worked, chaotic, with muddy color and a terrible composition.

Bluets

All along the path

Sweet Bluets rise up from leaves

NC wildflower

Tiny blooming wildflowers who burst on the scene.

Once the leaves begin to canopy the forest they will be gone. Hence ephemeral.
