The other day I went to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum. The magnolias there had just started to bloom. I took my painting chair and sat down near the lowest blossoms and sketched one branch coming down from the right and another from the left. I met quite a few people who were visiting the arboretum and stopped at a social distance to chat along their path. It was a really nice day.
Lovely, Joan. Happy you were out and about.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jo. Can't hold me back. lol
DeleteJoan this is truly beautiful. It sounds like you had such a nice time at the Arboretum. I have never grown a Magnolia but would love a tree in my yard...may have to put that on my "bucket list". Have a super weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thank you. I think magnolias are such beautiful trees. I once heard a woman complaining to her friend that she was going to cut down her magnolia because it was "too messy." Can you imagine? Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteThis is super Joan.It sounds like you had a really nice visit. Isn't it nice that the weather has improved to be able to sit outside and paint.
ReplyDeleteVal, thanks so much. We had a few really nice days followed by a few days of rain/showers. Today was much cooler so no sitting outside.
DeleteReally wonderful! There's a variety of magnolia flower shapes and your coloring is just the right touch.
