Exactly a month ago on the first day of spring, I sketched at the University of Washington Quad, which
was a glorious field of pink blossoms – in the air and on the ground. On
Saturday during the Burke sketch event,
I have to admit: I kept looking out the windows at the sunny day, itchin’ to
get outdoors. After it ended at 2 p.m., I made a beeline to the Quad. Those
huge old cherry trees had given up their pink petals weeks ago, but I didn’t
mind. Dressed in their late spring and summer greens, they are just as grand.
You did such a good job showing the massiveness of the tree trunk and the graceful sway and tilt of the branches. Lovely sketch.
