Inspiration found again

On Saturday, I went to the Oregon Contemporary museum for the first time. It is a lovely little gallery that would probably fit on the main floor of my house. Nonetheless, seeing others' art inspired me as always. Sunday I set up my easel, pulled out my pastels, and had a good time. It was like finding a piece of me that I had forgotten. Already I am considering the subject matter for the next piece. ❤

 

Spring ramblings

 

Maple flowers.

This is my first full spring in the newish house. It is fun to watch trees I've on;y known as green surprise me with blooms. 

Magnolia and weeping cherry.

I can often be found on long walks in the neighborhood, and nearby parks to document the other flowering plants.

jonquils - I'm going to have to plant some this fall!

crocuses!

Something blooming in the woods, woodsorrel?

It's a fabric art time of year. I started this quilt top years and years ago. I look forward to finally sleeping under it.
