INSPIRATIONS

Got rid of tons of books over the years, but there's always a new book to add to my library. It's worth the money if the book can inspire me to get out the paints.

DETAIL SPRING FLORALS

The commom Meadow Violet is one of those flowers that reveals its beauty up close.

VIOLETS

delicate scent of spring!

WISTERIA SKETCH

Nothing beats tea & scone surrounded by the scent of Wisteria...a fine day!

BUTTERCUP SKETCH

I'm used to seeing buttercup fluttering in the meadow, usually by a creek. I came upon this buttercup patch on RT 1, Putnam Rd, at the corner of a bank. Despite the busy traffic, they look quite cheerful.

APPLE BLOSSOM

Watercolor seems to be my favorite medium when I'm  doing botanical study... maybe one day I will do a book on the flowers of Connecticut.

CHERRY BLOSSOM

After too many winter sketches in monotone, I'm celebrating the first flowers of New England this week. Pure joy to see them in my studio & breakfast table.

MORNING GLOW

Spring is definitely showing off its colors. The morning sun makes everything glow in the hills. With so many beautiful spring colors, it will be hard to decide what & where I want to sketch. Sometimes too much inspirations can confuse me.
