I just finished painting the irises that bloom at the entrance to our home. I was waiting and waiting for them to blossom and when they did, they were spectacular. They are established and happy after being transplanted 2 - 3 years ago.
The redbuds in the Indiana woodlands almost exchanged their rosy blossoms for their green leaves before I got up early one morning to find a spot to paint them plein air. I found a perfect location, off the beaten path, set up my easel and painted for an hour. It was kind of a secluded area, and after a bit, I decided to take photos, pack up and finish the painting in studio. I'm so glad I took the time to catch those blossoms because the next day the trees were changing to a beautiful spring green.
