Spring Flowers - daffodils and tulips, adult art class display, 4/29/19

We started with several schematic structural versions of daffodils. These are to practice the basic structure and form of the flowers. Then we worked from photo references, (found on the web), as inspiration for the final drawings. Even the simple structural drawings colored in have their own beauty.

Cat and Pig start a spring garden, digital phone drawings, 4/14/19

 Cat and Pig are minding their new Spring Garden. They have crocuses, they have Daffidils, they have  tulips, they have hyacinth, they have lily-of-the-valley. And of course they have dandelions, violets and butter cups! They'll have to get some pansies too, and then some irises.
 And then they can have some lovely bouquets in the house. Sitting in the middle of the of the dining table. Maybe where they have breakfast too. Maybe in the window on the window sill. It will be lovely on those gray days. Or on those days when April showers bring May flowers!

 . And it will be lovely when the sun shines on them. It always is nice to have those piles of color inside the house
