Without the birds it might have been a dull demo!<br /><br />I have not seen P fulgidum around here, but there are many others of which P cucullatum is most robust and grow everywhere on the periphery of our garden. But the pots are in a showy place and needed perennial plants.<br /><br />Cathyann, it does take a toll and with being almost 68, just maybe that was my last time of volunteering! It was not students but the public who stood and watched there in the Museum.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comments, Ilse!Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-24042377811890114502011-05-29T12:29:03.153+02:002011-05-29T12:29:03.153+02:00Such peaceful (and beautiful) scenes.

"Squizzle" was the only appropiate thing that came into my head, we may make it part of art terminology! A long time ago one of my watercolour students collected these strange words I tended to use!

Big clouds in the top of the painting, and smaller towards the horizon. Shade your clouds with several grays. Paint the sky last with some areas quite shapely and other blurry. That is why I run some sky color into the clouds.<br /><br />Diane, is that a tease? As I said, I need my moments and even I must smile when I reread my pretentious gloating bits there in the end of the post! And yes, it is pouring here. It makes me dream of a sensational spring garden after the winter!Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.com
