I love when the magnolia trees are in bloom, so I had to do at least one magnolia blossom for my ATC exchange. This is 2.5 x 3.5 and was done from one of my reference photos taken last spring.
Joan! This is absolutely magnificent! You captured those petal shapes and color beautifully, especially how they are offset by a brilliant blue sky!! WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have always participated in the visual arts including watercolors, drawing and sketching, pen and ink, and photography. Since retiring from teaching I have devoted much of my time to watercolors, sometimes combining them with pen and ink or collage.
Watercolor is the perfect medium to capture the beauty that surrounds us. I love to travel, and sketch and paint wherever I go. Painting, especially on location, captures the spirit and life of the subject. I hope to continue doing that for a long time to come.

Jo - Thanks. I can't wait for these to blossom here. Then it will feel like spring!
Lin - It was hard to focus on just one blossom. I'm happy with this one. Thank you!
Joan, I love magnolia. This one is gorgeous and softly glow. Well done.
