#NatureDoodlewash Butterfly

June 9th   Today I have decided to stay closer to home and go for a walk in the garden.  I inspect all my flowers and shrubs and make sure they are thriving in this heat wave.  To my great joy and wonder a butterfly stops by for a visit.   Flitting from flower to bud.  Hardly stopping long enough for me to see  its shape and colors.  How can I remember how to draw that?  If only my butterfly bush had survived the winter, then maybe my visitor would have stayed longer.

Yellow Lily

Tulips or Lily’s seem to be very popular these days so I thought I would try my hand at painting a “Yellow Lily”.  A bright and cheery flower which I have been enjoying a bouquet of for several days.
