They`re coming. Even though snow is predicted tomorrow, in three weeks they`ll be here. Is there a more extravagant flowering tree?
I used to do a magnolia painting every spring until last year. I was too distracted with trying to sell and buy a house. This year I`ll do it again.
Beautiful work. We have two magnolias in our back yard, and I can see the hope of spring. (And spring can't come too soon.)
ReplyDeleteIf this is any indication of your magnolia paintings, we are in for a real treat this spring! Gorgeous work and some unusual takes on the traditional watercolor magnolia painting :)
ReplyDeletetruly elegant ...
ReplyDeleteMagnolias, which we have here in Virginia, are among my favorite flowering trees (so much so I included silk magnolia blossoms in my wedding bouquet).
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time I saw a magnolia pod, and I go out every spring to catch first sight of the pods opening amid waxy leaves.
These paintings are lovely, Randall. I'm especially drawn to #3, 5 from top, perhaps because they'll full of the expectancy of color.
Simply gorgeous, I just love your work. It's realistic, but so much more....divine.
ReplyDeleteWow, these are awesome!!
ReplyDeleteDo you know I think I have never seen a magnolia tree in bloom? I always see paintings of the flowers and am very jealous that there aren't any here.
What a treat to find these beautiful paintings this morning as the wind rattles my window panes and nature decides if it will rain or snow.
ReplyDeleteI love magnolias and have painted them in various states. They are a rare tree in my neck of the woods. I only get to appreciate them when travelling.
The blog full of treasures. So good.
