Sept from Lynne - Folly Tree Arboretum


These colors look so nice on the kraft paper. The close tone of the petals to the background make them look so delicate and then the contrast with the centers give them dimension. The variations in light and dark add to the overall effect. Part of that might have happened when Lynne started at the top with a loaded brush - but if it was intentional - it's a very good technique to notice and then use in your own work.

Add on today is an article from the NYTimes - they usually allow one article before putting up their firewall. It's a very aesthetically pleasing arboretum - LINK to article 

If you can't get to the article - here is a link to the arboretum. https://follytreearboretum.com

It was hard to choose photos - they are all so interesting - plus, each has a story. Caution - do not enter if you have a long to-do list for today.
