Last week, I came across a row of Cherry Trees in full bloom…I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I have always dreamed about visiting Japan and following the blooming of the Cherry Trees. So for a little while while under the Georgia sun….I pretended to be in Japan.

It has been raining a lot here in Georgia…so last week for lunch I went to the University of Georgia’a State Botanical Garden. The conservatory always has an area for orchids, but that day orchids were everywhere. Hundreds of blooms….everywhere….

A kind elderly volunteer with a warm smile made comments on the flowers as he floated around meeting the guests…was a great hour spent!

Red Bud trees have these beautiful pink flowers in the spring, heart shaped leaves all summer, and pea pod seed packets in late summer and early fall…..but my favorite parts are the flowers.

Took these pictures yesterday while out with a group of hikers….super warm day at 83F here in Georgia and lots of pretty spring flowers.

Gray is a powerful color. We use this color to describe our mood, the sky, or something that is in between. Gray is sometimes thought of as a cold temperature color, but gray can also be a warm tone. Mix a light purple then mix yellow into that mixture and you get a beautiful warm gray color.

Below are two paintings that have been experimentation’s with the color gray.

This first is a close up of a flower and the second…..well you get what that is….

Life of an Artist…..Out Scouting for New Painting Subjects

Georgia, the state I live in is beautiful, but I really don’t find the landscape very inspiring. So when I go scouting for something new to paint…I focus in on small hidden treasures that I find in the forest.

I was looking for something that had good lines and would lean itself toward abstraction. Below are pictured a few of nature’s wonders that I found interesting.

Image

The above picture is called ‘rabbit ear’ by the locals because the leaves are very fleshy and soft to the touch….like a rabbit’s ear. 

Image

 

The one pictured above…was a shocking find. Who would have thought such a lovely orange colored thing would be found growing out of a fallen tree limb on the forest floor. 

True to form on such hikes is one of our cats….an old tom cat named Tiger. He follows me around like a dog…minus the barking.

When going on these little hikes I always find an interesting tree. The bark or sometimes the lack of it can be very interesting.

Last picture is of me with my ‘forest coat’ on….would not be caught in town with it on, but it is perfect protection against briers. I just shove my hands into the deep pockets and press through the thickest brier patches.

Image

Said last picture, but I have to post these early blooming daffodils. These were the last find in today’s hike.

Image

Great artistic day….even though I didn’t get any time in the studio. Got lots of ideals from nature for new paintings. Plus being outside is an important thing for me personally. 

Hope you get the time and chance to see something wonderful outside today.

Sabi
