What could be more cheerful than a little ‘field’ of erythronium tuolumnense on a sunny Sunday morning? These beauties came from my grandmother’s garden 20 years ago and have gently formed a colony. Also known as fawn lily or dogtooth lily (for the canine tooth-shaped bulb) the plants go dormant in June and are not seen again until their leaves begin to reappear in February. Native to California’s Sierra Nevada, specifically endemic to Yosemite area. I have no idea how she came to have them, perhaps from one of her co-collector gardening friends, some 50-60 years ago. # erythronium tuolumnense #fawnlily #dogtoothlily #nativeplants #springblooms

Express your thanks to your local grocery and drugstore employees with a simple, tiny bouquet. They are taking a huge health risk everyday. Print and share your beautiful art on pre-perforated business card stock or other papers. Every time you pay for your purchase hand one to the person assisting you. A small bit of gratitude for a risky job. #Shareyourart #Saythankyouwithart #Gratitude #Thankyoutogroceryemployees #Businesscardart #Showyoucare #thankyoustoreclerks #thankyouwestseattlethriftway #thankyouwestseattleqfc #thankyouBartellDrugs

This pink anthurium doesn’t really fall into the sketch category. Seen at Hawai’i Teopical Botanical Garden. Three colors: Sap green, Perylene green and Opera pink (Daniel Smith -with a touch of quinacridone violet). 4” x 5”; Fabriano WC paper. #travelwatercolor #watercolorsketches #pinkanthirium #anthurium #tropicalfoliageandflowers #watercolor #paintandtravel

So many shapes and colors in the foliage of tropical plants and flowers unlike those of the Pacific Northwest. I’m finding a dagger brush quite useful for the shapes of strelitzia, bird of paradise. Color=joy! #travelwatercolor #watercolorsketches #strelitzia #birdofparadise #tropicalfoliageandflowers #watercolor #paintandtravel

Working on tropical foliage, especially how to paint the many types of palm leaves/fronds. Using a dagger brush in a dry brush style seems to be most effective for fronds of large palms. So much of art is problem solving and brings lots of joy! #travelwatercolor #watercolorsketches #tropicalfoliage #watercolor #paintandtravel

A mashup of tropical foliage, colors and imagined flowers. #travelwatercolor #watercolorsketches #tropicalfoliage #watercolor #paintandtravel

Happy with this just finished this limited palette piece. Abstract, leaves, floral. #limitedpalette #acrylic #abstracts #Improvisations #Organic #leavesandbuds #Westseattleart

These scribbles and strokes were my initial design for the Classic Blue Limited Palette challenge inspired so many other derivative designs based on my initial scribbles and strokes design. A few make me think of me of Delft Blue, denim and calico. Hope to have a collection available soon. https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/backyarddesigner @spoonflower #ShopSpoonflower #spoonflowerfabrics #ClassicBlueChallenge #classicblue #limitedpalette #blue #abstracts #Improvisations #Denimblue #delftblue #Designchallenge #Spoonflowerchallenge #Westseattleart
