Butterfly Magnolia


This is a small painting I did of a butterfly magnolia at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Oakdale yesterday. I'm glad I went because I'm sure these delicate flowers wouldn't have lasted much longer.

  1. Hi Joan,

    What a pretty flower. I had no idea the Aboretum was open. I will try to get over there. Love the previous post as well.

    Have a great day.

  2. I finally got around to changing your blog address on my blog. I'm slow but sure. At least so far.

  4. I like the way you did the background so the light flower pops. Pretty magnolia.

  5. That is great, you captured the beautiful flower beautifully. When I was in AL, the magnolia near our house was blooming but too high for me to sketch ;-)
