I love it when it’s blooming season for our Japanese camellia trees, these are from our smaller tree…..look at all those delicate veins on the petals and lovely yellow centers. They are currently sitting on my painting table against a wall of inks in a gorgeous ceramic tea cup I bought from a talented pottery artist at the Melrose Flea Market. Can’t wait to do a few watercolor sketches of them.
Right: A little peak into the sketchbook and my travel palette (hand-crafted inlaid wooden box found at a thrift store that I filled with half-pans!)
