Mountain Dogwood, 16x20 on linen
I was in the California central coast and caught this beautiful sight of small dogwood blossoms contrasted with the dark bark of this huge tree. It might have been a Monterey Pine. It made me smile and I knew that this would become a painting. Dogwood blossoms are like butterflies and each one has it's own color and shape. I tried not to get too much into the details of each flower, but wanted to paint the liveliness of the group. My mom fell in love with the painting, and so, what mom wants, mom gets! I am thinking of painting the scene but closer up to enjoy the individual blossoms. We will see.
