Silk Floss Tree

Silk Floss Tree
Ink, watercolor on handmade paper

This is a green tree that has thorns on the trunk, deciduas and orchid like flowers twice a year. When the leaves have dropped the shape of the tree is visible. The city of Fullerton, California has planted them on both sides of Harbor Blvd. in the downtown area.

Beautiful once again! Painting a tree always seems so easy and I find it soooo difficult to make those branches light and right. I love yours!
