Petal-peeping season isn’t over yet, and I don’t even have to go far to peep. The Kwanzan cherries at Green Lake seem to have exploded into pink pompoms overnight. Growing sporadically around the park rather than in large clusters, they pop brilliantly against the otherwise mostly dark foliage. Ironically, I didn’t even have to walk to the lake for these: I found them in a parking lot.
I must say that the second sketch might be one of my favorite tree sketches. It started raining shortly after I began, so I worked much more quickly than I usually would with water-soluble materials. Under-thinking instead of over-thinking!
I also may have exaggerated the vibrancy of the hues a bit -- so shoot me!

Beautiful sketches! I love Kwanza cherry trees! They just shine in the landscape.
ReplyDeleteThey do! And much easier to sketch than the nearly-white ones! ;-)
DeleteGlad you are still finding a few cherry trees in bloom! These look great!!
ReplyDeleteI have one more that I'll post soon! That's probably the last of the year. It's been a great season!
