I wonder is the top photo, forget me nots? I've planted it several times only to come up with a weeds full of burrs! I don't recall planting grape hyacinths here, and the pear trees are in full bloom! If only I had time in the garden!
I have grape hyacinths all over my lawn and I never planted a one. I think the squirrels have stolen some bulbs from my neighbors and buried them in my front lawn. Kind of a nice effect actually.. too bad I had to mow them down yesterday.
Cleveland Pear? Is it a fake pear? I've been trying to figure why the fruit sets but never grows! I bought my pear trees from National Arbor Day Foundation and they were supposed to be dwarf, and grow pears!

Using my practice of quick poses in life drawing, I opportune to experiment with colors and differing line textures to recreate quickly the effects of light on the spiritual essence of the human form. My intention is to pull the viewer into following line, breathing with it's form, knowing it's actual beauty.

Love those grape hyacinths! What's the matter with my squirrels? All so pretty, Doris. I do have the Cleveland Pear and it's majestic!

I've got a tree called a Bradford Pear. It's fruit more resembles a crab apple. But it does bloom rather nicely this time of year.
Woo hoo gardening talk on an art blog ;-)
