The other day I headed over to the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, NY. They have a building containing nothing but camellias, and they are in gorgeous bloom right now. I did this in my moleskin wc journal and it is 3.5 x 5.

I HAVE MOVED!
About Me
- Joan
- 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.

This looks good, my camellias wouldn't be appearing for months...maybe I got the cheap ones...
Joan your work is amazing. I was just thinking about the Arboretum. Someone said there is no charge for parking in off season. That doesn't matter but I love your painting. I must get over there. Thank you for sharing. I just had a great reply from Dominique about Moleskine . I have to email you.
That's beautiful, Joan!
They were all abloom in Charleston too -- beautiful beautiful work! I've never been to that Arboretum, Joan ...sounds wonderful!
Oh how stunning! What a lovely and fresh piece, Joan!
Ron - Thanks. These were in a greenhouse...and there were hundreds of them.
Joan - Thanks. You should get there while they are in bloom.
Mickey - Thanks. You would love the flowers in the camelia house.
Lin - Thanks. I enjoy it because it has a lot more than just trees, and there are indoor flowers too.
Sherry - Thank you. It was nice to be someplace that felt like spring.
I really love this painting! Very talented may I add
