It snowed on me. At first I thought the wind was brings down bits of blossoms but no it was snow in May. There are rabbits that hop and nibble their way through the yard as I paint, so I added one as it posed for me 4 ft in front of my easel.
I used a new softer brush which gave me a slapping stroke with the white. After painting the blossom clusters I wanted to try a simple branch. Some of the petals are knocked off by the rain and snow. I find myself painting in the missing petals and feel like a cheat so I brush the extra painted petals off the canvas and leave the gaps.
