I got to sketch Holly out at the Albany Bulb, on one of the benches she designed and organized as a community build. And I run into that ‘mansplaining’ when I’m working with tools, too…Thank for letting me sketch you, Holly! #recycledfurniture #albanybulb #lovethebulb @lovethebulb #womenbuilders don’t need #mansplaining #sketchbookartist #cathyraingarden Spring is bursting at the seams at the Albany Bulb. I’ve never seen the wild valerian so big and lush, exploding in all its pinkness. The greens and golds of the artichokes were stunning against the grays of the sky and water. As I was painting the purple tree, the winds picked up, and dozens of brown pelicans flew silently above me, heading out to catch dinner. I always get transported to a dreamland when I paint out in the wilds of the Albany Bulb. #urbansketchers #walktosee #sketchbook #blocdedibujo #schizzenbuch #albumperschizzi #carnetdecroquis #recycledart #recycledsculpture #urbanwild #lovethebulb #albanybulb #cathyraingarden I am such a convert to acupuncture with Chinese herbs. And I’m such a plant fanatic, that I love the idea of lily bulbs and mulberry leaves floating through my body, healing me. #acupuncture #chineseherbs #nonwesternmedicine #walktosee #sketchbook #sketchbookdrawing #draweverything #cathyraingarden I spent most of the day in Nola’s Iris Garden, down in San Jose. Two thousand varieties over five acres and now my eyes are on rainbow overload! This place is like the Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands, but with irises instead of tulips. As I sketched, and Meer napped, I eavesdropped to catch all the exclamations over the iris names. Even the dried up blooms are beautifully wrinkled and shrunken. We ended our visit underneath the fragrant orange and Mexican Key Lime trees, resting in the welcome shade. #springflowers #iris #urbansketchers #walktosee #carnetdevoyage @stillmanandbirn #sketchbookdrawing #draweverything #cathyraingarden Sometimes playing hooky from work is the best medicine…My Adirondack chairs are finished just in time to sit under my blooming Beschorneria stalk and watch the hummingbirds. #beschorneria #polywood #adirondackchair #walktosee #sketchbookdrawing #cathyraingarden
