front porch

A warm afternoon, and our front porch is on the west side of the house. I sat on the porch swing and drew and then since my little paintbox needs refilling with gouache, I got out my watercolor set and used those colors instead. Our roses are just beginning, but I haven't picked any yet. In the little green caper jar are blue wood hyacynths and a sprig of the late Korean lilac, 'Miss Kim.'
