Yellow Tulips in Blue Vase ~ plein air for Earth Day

10.25x9 watercolor and ink on paper done today plein air with Watercolor Horizons group.  We had a paint out at Alldredge Gardens in Midland, TX.  With temps in the low 50s and a north wind blowing, I chose to stay inside the building and sketch from life.  I've been a member of the Odessa WH group for many years now and it was encouraging to see a new member bringing her two young sons with their art supplies.  Earth Day is a good time to connect with plants.  This was drawn with Micron 01 pen.
