Spring Again

This painting from the mid-nineties sold very quickly and I didn`t get a proper photo. I took this in the frame shop and thanks to Photoshop, I made it more accurate for my records. The painting was built from many small drawings I did in Laurelhurst Park. I love botanical illustration and wanted to create a painterly version.
For anyone local, I just walked Iron Mountain and it`s full of flowering trees I think might be wild plums. The fragrance was wonderful.
oil on canvas 20"x66"

A lovely piece from the past this is!

I also deeply appreciate botanical illustration, which is why I so enjoyed reading the wonderful book 'The Paper Garden'. Marvelous work produced at advanced age and now in a London museum.

Your own botanicals (the ones you've posted) are beautiful, I think.

Are the flowerings ivory-like clusters? With high temps, that scent will build. It's like perfume on warm skin.
