Walking back to my car after a haircut, I passed two blossoming
trees. One had brighter peachy-pink blossoms with cupped petals; the second had
flatter, pale pink petals and dark reddish-brown leaves. I would have said the
second was a cherry, but I always think of cherry petals as having a small,
wedge-shaped cut on its outer edge. Perhaps it’s a different variety. I wanted
to sketch a few more, but then it started raining again.
Yes, I did color these on location. Just like I always keep
bright green and red markers in my bag during the holiday season (in case of an
unexpected Santa sighting), I always keep a pink colored pencil in my bag as
soon as I’ve spotted the first blossoming cherry. It never hurts to be prepared.
I'm so jealous you have blossoms to sketch!!! Nice! It does pay to be prepared.
