During the past two years, two (R & G, I'll call them) of the three of our little drawing group have moved! It has been over a year since I posted a thing on any of my three blog sites. Let's see if I can remember how to do this… Disruptions of all types have undermined our habits, our outlooks, our every quotidian act to one degree or another. But one thing is ever-returning, and that is springtime. Here in Seattle, that means abundant flowers, humble or flamboyant. We met on R's brand new deck one recent sunny April day, and sketched a dainty collection of muscari (grape hyacinths) and the flowers of epimedium. I love how differently we saw them and drew them! Here you go:
The messy sketch at the bottom is mine, G's elegant botanical study is in the middle, and R's clear, light drawing is at the top.
The warmth of the sun, the sudden zephyr that flipped the table runner, knocking the little vase over, and the bold richness of R's coffee and brownies linger in my memory of that spring morning. How good it was to be together around a table once again.
