Two Book Reflections

We’ve planted a number of plants since moving to La Crosse two years ago.  One is a serviceberry tree.

I set up on our front yard and tried again with Plein Air acrylics.  At least water was easily available.

The background is a fade from blue to burned umber with some lavender.  I used an acrylic pen to draw in leaves.  The painting is free-alistic. 

If you are wondering, the tree was pruned to be upright, as serviceberry can be a bit shrub like.
