Taming Wildflowers

You have to look closely in the field where we walk with our dog to find these exquisite offerings of Spring.  These small beauties are easily walked over and on, but when isolated from the lush green grass, their colors glow and their shapes invite careful inspection.  Tiny works of art which combine to compliment each other, the wildflowers in the field are gifts of nature I usually overlook.  When not overlooked a pleasant intimacy with nature is experienced.

Sketch Club Work in Progress

I am sketching this on my iPad with Sketch Club.  I love this app because sketching is so smooth and, oddly, sensual.

Hyacinth

Aphrodite is said to have worn hyacinth woven through her hair. The first smell of spring, hyacinth is the fragrance of renewed hope for me.
