Rhododendron

The rhododendron (Rhododendron catawbiense) bushes are just beginning to flower. Here is a scanned drawing from my journal. I really enjoy the challenge of drawing complex flower forms – although sometimes they are actually easier to capture than simpler forms (no preconceived images or "symbols" to overcome!).

Our Italian meal was angel hair pasta and stewed tomatoes. It was very light and easy. I used wheat-free, gluten-free angel hair pasta made from rice.
