Paint Party Friday - Magnolia

Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This is a magnolia flower on cardstock (4 1/2" x 6 1/2") done with my new permanent markers and outlined with a black fine point marker.

This is an interesting article on amazing new technology for artists.  It talks about a digital pen with 2000 levels of pressure sensitivity, temperature sensitive paint,  3D printing of facial expressions, 3D drawing and sculpting, a 3D robot that can draw, a digital Moleskine notebook.  Yes, technology is changing our entire world!

Spring has Sprung

Finally, it is time for all the trees to sprout leaves and even flower. There are a lot of magnolia trees in the neighbourhood and it is a delight to photograph them.

Magnolia Rebloom

The magnolia trees seem to be having a 2nd bloom, I've never noticed that before. Can you see the new buds?

Sunday Sketches - Magnolia

Welcome to Sunday Sketches.  I did a Magnolia greeting card based on a photo I took.  It's done in watercolour pencil (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").

Fleeting Beauty

I took this photo not too long ago and the magnolia buds on the neighbourhood trees have since flowered and the blossoms have already started falling on the ground.  It is a fleeting beauty.

Paint Party Friday - Magnolia

I did this piece 3 weeks ago when the Magnolia trees were just coming into bloom. I was on a morning walk and snapped a photo which I used as my inspiration. It's a greeting card in acrylic (4 1/4"h x 5 1/2" w).
