Something Different

On my way home from work today, I passed a couple nice scenes with trees. They were a beautiful mix of the remnants of winter and the beginnings of spring. This particular one caught my eye, so when I got home I said hi to my lady, threw my bag down and began painting like a man possessed. I didn't even change clothes or sit down the whole time, and had fun with some different sponges which is something I'd like to practice more.

Bit of a break from my norm... but not terribly surprising to those who know I have a tree fetish, I guess.

Olive-ma, I live in Bellevue, Washington. I'm not sure what kind of tree it is, but it has pretty dark red leaf buds all over it. Not a Japanese maple though. Raffi, I knew you'd say something about that. Haha!

Thanks Iggy, JRS, Olive-ma and RenRen! JRS - Thanks for the heads up! I've been snapping pics of cherry blossoms lately, but sadly have not made it over to the quad. I have thought of the Bellevue A & C fest... it's a possibility, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to put a lot of time into tree paintings and prints yet. I'll definitely look into it (and Coupeville) further. Thanks again! Olive-ma - Good try! Pretty pic, but the tree has a gray, spotted trunk and little burgundy buds. I think I have a bad photo of one somewhere...
