“Ohio Redbud"
This painting--- 'Ohio Redbud"-- says spring to me. We drive into the country to see redbud and dogwood trees in bloom.
This painting, however, is taken from a newspaper clipping many years ago when I didn't know how to approach doing this as a watercolor.
After these many years of getting more experienced with the medium, I was happy with the results. Saving white paper so washes could be done freely required the use of masking fluid - sometimes a must.

If anyone is interested, I am hosting a hike at Hebble Creek Reserve off of Spangle Road at 4:30 pm on Tuesday, May 22. Weather permitting. There are two nests we can view, one a falcon, and one a heron. Both have baby birds. So bring your binoculars. Any artists that may want to do some painting in the early evening, please come. I hope artists are visiting and painting for the En Plein Air 2012.
