Drawing #82 - Than Ever

Another sheet of colored letter-size paper is the basis of my drawing from life of our wonderful white azaleas beside the front steps. This time the subject is pretty clear but there is still room for your imagination to roam. I've also written about the flowers across the image in the usual decorated, not-meant-to-be-legible style. The end of what I wrote became the title because they bloomed so well this year, better than ever. The collage is from pictures with acrylic paint and watercolor pencils as well as ink.

Celebrating Another Spring Bloom

Years ago we planted white azaleas beside our front steps and we enjoy them so much. This year I took more photos of them and thought some of them were just perfect for a "web inspiration" challenge. The picture selected for the challenge is interesting and different and I like what it led me to. This was May 24th and the flowers are now all gone. It is so very much summer now with another hot one forecast for tomorrow.

Raining on our spring...

It just seems to keep on raining! Now it has turned chilly too. There is a camera challenge this month on concept photography. I brought my wistfulness over the rain to bear on it.
