Forsythia in Bloom

I love this time of year when the forsythia blooms and looks like a riot of color everywhere. Of course I usually spot it on or along a parkway and can't stop to paint it. This painting was done of a caretaker's cottage at Spring Lake Golf Course in Middle Island.

Don't laugh but I actually sat on the service road of the Long Island Expressway to paint this one. Both were done in my Strathmore journal.

  3. I love the forsythia sketches! The first one especially captures the glorious yellow that you only see for a week or so every spring.
