Spring Sketches

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Happy March 1st!  This month I plan to add to my bank of artistic imagery by sketching a bit of my world each day and posting here.  (Hopefully putting my intentions in writing will help me stay the course!)  I think I'll call this little endeavor Sketching My World. 

So, let's get to it, shall we?

Daffodils are abundant right now in East Texas.  Can anyone explain to me the difference between Daffodils and Narcissus?

The first Iris of the year are blooming by my front door. It is a simple variety that blooms early...solid white, although my drawing makes it look purple.  (I was sketching in deep shade.)  My mom says they called them "flags" when she was a girl.  That 's kind-of fun...maybe it's a flag to herald the parade of beautiful flowers that will soon march through my garden!  Bahaha!

The blooms in the bouquet in my kitchen are fading fast, so I sketched this lily yesterday.  (Roses and lilies for Valentine's day from the huz this year...so sweet.) 

So there you have it...my first installment of Spring Sketches.  Please don't expect three every day.  I will be thrilled if I can complete one sketch most days. 

I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend.  After last weekend's faucet fiasco we are ready to relax a bit.  I am happy to report we are no longer without running water in the kitchen and I have a new sink that's almost big enough to double as a small bathtub.  

I guess I should have sketched that, huh?  Maybe later...
