When I finished everything I planned to and thought that it was a perfect moment to get some lunch and celebrate last page of a sketchbook, I walked under the tree and saw these flowers....
Needless to say that lunch had to wait as I tried to capture as much as possible about this wonder!
I think it's a Coral Tree (Erythrina) - and here is a link why:

Scroll to the image of flowers - I think my tree is D.
what do you think?
What a nice way to spend a morning. Drawing can be very distracting. The flower study is lovely and I clicked through to the link and they do appear to look very similar to the Coral Tree.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages. Love how you highlighted the tree. What a bonus for you last page! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHow neat! We've had several different coral trees on the blog--yours is stunning, Nina. No wonder lunch had to wait!
ReplyDeleteThe tree is like a living sculpture you captured it beautiufuly. I like to see people's sketching tools. So interesting.
