Bloom of the Bradford Pear

Bloom of the Bradford Pear
Oil on canvas, 7x5

Our old Bradford Pear is starting to show it's color today!  With the recent warm days - so many things are springing to life!  Today is a perfect overcast day to accent the beautiful delicate whites of this tree.  It is the only one showing color of all three I have - so in honor of it's beauty - I am memorializing it in oils!  Painting on the dreaded canvas panel - because I am now saving all the "good stuff" for my events - this one is painted small!  It is only 7x5 inches.  I am really feeling the mood of this one, so I will have to paint this one larger to do the tree justice!  Painting number 466 in 466 days - now of to Michael's track meet :)
