Wisteria

4/30/19 Beacon Hill neighborhood

About a month ago, I showed you Tony’s lovely decorative cherry tree in full bloom. Now his trellised wisteria is at peak, so I went back to his Beacon Hill home for a chance to sketch the purple. Unlike cherries, I don’t seem many wisteria trees in these parts, so the grape-like clusters of blossoms were a new challenge. I wasn’t too pleased with this composition or the messy shadows, but it felt so good to sketch with the warm sun at my back that I could have been sketching a stone in the road, and I would have been just as happy.
