Today I added just enough watercolor to my crape myrtle sketch to remember the color transformation of the new growth. Below is a more recent photo of the same tree, fully in flower, and a photo pulled off an internet search showing a mature version of the same variety. The info tag that came on our baby tree said it could reach 15 feet — I’ve seen a similar variety in Houston that reached the third story of an office building!
This is beautiful! Love all your sketches of flowers, Vicky!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my very favorite of anything I've done so far this year!
