Magnolia Sketch

Magnolia has such interesting branches. I need to learn more about the biology of this species but for now it's enough to simply observe and try to capture. My thought is that if I can nail down the branching that I'll be better prepared for when the blossoms appear.

  3. Great likeness. I love the contrast of texture between the furry buds and the twigs. Spring is coming...

  4. Indeed it is, Judith. The vernal pool list is becoming active with sightings of frogs and salamanders--even a Peeper!
