Southern Hemisphere Spring, October 2013

Spring flowers, pigment liner and watercolor, 16x5in.

It's nice to be back in Spring so soon. I went around the garden looking for nice flowers to sketch in a double Moleskine page.

Wisteria - a stellar year

Some wisteria is in full bloom, some is still to come, but whereever I see it, the bracts are copious and colorful. I find it hard to capture, all those tiny blossoms, so I just splash down some color and hope that  gives the feeling a little. The woman whose house this vine is at said the "wisteria papparazzi" came out recently to photograph their family all dressed in hats, with baskets and finery!

Before cold and rainy weather comes back I'd like to share a quick drawing done in Mountain View on a nice warm day :)
