Orange Tree: a bit of a wild #watercolor to capture feeling of an orange tree in bloom, because our tree for some reason set no flowers this year, and I miss them #art #sketch #aquarelle #painting #spring

Page in a watercolor sketchbook showing a loose and free style watercolor painting of an orange tree in bloom. Light and dark green leaves swirl around tiny white buds and blooms. Painting by Ellen Friedman 2025

Thanks, Pam. I think I miss the blossoms even more than I'll miss the oranges next winter. We had bumper crop this Dec-Jan. No idea why it forgot to bloom this spring.

Thank you, Kathie. I was more after a feeling than an exact visual representation, so it makes me happy for you to have that impression 🙂

Great work Ellen. Do you have any plans for an exhibition? I think it would be amazing to see more of your work on display.

That's so sweet of you to say, Alex!. Really made my day. I wouldn't know where where people might want to see an exhibition, but it would be such fun, because art is communication and so it's nice to see the reaction of an audience

From what I have seen so far, you have enough material for an exhibition. Maybe start small, doesn't need to be fancy.
