lovely springtime

I have been riding my bike all over Brooklyn with my girls this week it has been so lovely. The magnolia trees are blossoming adn they smell divine! I wish magnolia stuck around longer, they die so quickly.
I have been working a painting for someone this week which I just finished friday and am excited to give to her monday. I hope she loves it as much a I do.
Here are 2 new paintings I worked on the other day, smaller works on paper. I found this amazing grey paper which I always love to draw and paint all over in white. it is nice to see the white lines pop out on a darker paper. I think that color combination and contrast is beautiful!
