More spring sketching


Spring rhododendron's are showing up all around now, giving me yet another flower to watercolor in my sketchbook.

I'm really happy with my new "subscribe" link over to the right of the screen. One subscriber tells me it really works great. Once you subscribe by placing your e-mail address in the box, the next day after I update my blog you will receive an e-mail from me, Nancy Van Blaricom: fine art, showing the new post to my blog.

  1. I love Rhododendrums, but unfortunately, they do not grow in Colorado...our soil is too alkaline. Your sketch is wonderful, this would make a lovely card too.

  3. Cynthia, I guess I just assumed that Rhody's grew everywhere. Oregon and Washington have huge gardens of them. I take the beauty for granted ... We have a small yard and have 9 of them.

    Thank you Ester. I'm trying to do more sketching in my sketch book - with watercolor... always a challenge with the poor quality of paper... but soon I'll complete it and be starting one more conducive to water. Yea!
