Prospect Park in May

Prospect Park in May, Watercolor on Paper, 5x7 in
Spring at last! On the way home from the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum I took a detour through Prospect Park to look for blossom trees. My handy watercolor kit came with me on the chance there'd be enough sun and warmth for a quick sketch. I was lucky for an hour or so, but just as I was finishing up there was a sudden downpour. Only a few raindrops fell on my work, so fortunately it didn't get  ruined.  Phew, thank goodness for small favors. Spring weather is so unpredictable!

There was a riot of color going on in the trees, so thanks Suzalele!

Another beauty! Your watercolors are glowing. Beautiful transparency and lightness, great composition and the light spirit of spring!

Thanks Janette, spring is one of my favorite times of the year. Because it's getting warm enough to paint outdoors!

Lovely painting of the flowering trees. I'm glad the downpour didn't ruin your work!

    I'm a representational painter enchanted by the unique qualities of watercolor. Sometimes oils, gouache, colored pencils and other media call to me too. I started this blog to share my work and ideas about making art. Sometimes I toss other things into the mix. Such as painters I love, and art books and exhibits that inspire me. Your comments are welcome. I'd love to hear from you!
