Enough said.
“There is a sweetness of May verging on June that no other time can equal.” – Hal Borland
Tips and Techniques– I’ve sketched allium for several years now and it’s always a pleasure. Poppies are usually next, with numerous flower heads ready to unfold in a week or so, but I’ll miss them this year while traveling and teaching in Portugal. I look forward to returning with a sketchbook full of new sights. (Sketched in Handbook Journal Co. 140lb watercolor journal, with a Micron 005 pen and QoR watercolors.)

I love this. Wow, those colors! You have captured all the exuberance of spring.
Thanks Leslie— I think of this as being right up your alley with the rose/magenta colors.
Beautiful, as always!!!
Thanks Cindy! Much appreciated.
Beautiful, as always!!!
Love the Hal Borland quote, but it pales in comparison to the sweetness of your alliums!
Wishing you safe and fascinatingly glorious travels to Portugal, Jean! And be on the lookout for the great and wonderful Hoopoe!
I would LOVE to see a Hoopoe!
Fingers crossed!
I love how you captured the star shape of the individual allium florets, without ever drawing a star! Really lovely.
