Wow, I'm still behind posting paintings. This gouache piece was painted in March at our local arboretum. My last blog post of an arboretum gouache was
Arboretum in January. One of the plein air groups meets there every quarter to plan our next locations so we had our latest planning session in March. It was only a short walk through the still-blooming aloes when I saw this yellow trumpet tree. It was covered with yellow flowers. So pretty! I had to try it in gouache. The tree was a very popular spot for photos that day.

Your lovely bright sunny painting caught my eye straight away as I was going through my blog reader this morning. Gorgeous contrasts of light and shade. Love the textures too.
ReplyDeleteHi Laura! I always appreciate your visits and comments.
DeleteSo vibrant. Perfectly suited for your style, and for your gouache work. Love it, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry!
DeleteYellow I find are not always easy to paint with but your Yellow trumpets in gouache have so much colour and value, brilliant. I will google that tree now and find out more about it, inspired by your great photo and painting
ReplyDeleteThanks Lorraine. The tree was so striking to see in person.
DeleteWow, is all I have to say, Sherry, SO colorful!!
