Indian Paintbrush Time

Another beautiful day, so nice to say!  We will soon have the Loblolly pollen and not be able to have the doors and windows open at the nicest time of the year.  Better make the best of this week or so!   I sketched on the porch in the ArtStreet sketchbook with Zig Millenneum pens, 05.

For Scavenger Hunt 59  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-59-feb-27-mar-7-2023.5218/

Number 9 flower- Indian Paintbrush from the yard.
Number 10 glass - blue trimmed glass from Mexico



I didn't mind cutting the Paintbrush as these few in the backyard will be mowed soon.  They are fun to see and usually are accompanied by the Bluebonnets.  Maybe I'll get a nice photo of a field soon.  Primroses will be coming soon, too.

It's Tuesday!  UT Baseball playing Sam Houston State tonight at the Disch.  We will not go.  Driving at night in the Austin traffic is not the easiest.  Not easy in the daytime!

Lovely, the entire image but I especially like the glass, that's a tough one to do.

It is greening up here, but no flowers yet. Sometimes the Indian Paintbrushes will fill a pasture with color. Love them!

Helen, thank you. I find glass harder with watercolor. In pastels and other media I just paint the light don't worry about shape. I haven't arrived at that point with water!

bag blog, Yes the hot weather is coming too fast here. I love the Paintbrushes, too.
