Pink Tulips in a Creamer

With Spring upon us and flowers filling the stores
I couldn't resist these pretty pink tulips.
I placed them in a lovely white porcelain cream pitcher.

The snowy white blossoms of our Asian pear tree
hold the promise of the golden fruit to come this summer.
These blossoms reveal the many 'shades of  white'.

Street Cafe

I found this scene of interest to paint. Are these people friends or strangers.
Because they all seemed to be absorbed in their own pursuits.
The cute little dog was the only one who noticed me,
in fact he never took his eyes off me
as I laid down a quick plein air sketch to finish in the studio.
