The air is filled with dew, and the smell of fresh coffee brewing is floating out from the kitchen window. It's a bit noisy, the bees are busy buzzing from one plant to the next and the local donkey from the farm opposite is saying good morning to the whole village.
A glorious morning. I've been stood outside drawing this magnolia tree. The flowers seem to be eternal, I've never know a magnolia bloom as long as this, it must be the French air!
I think I like this simple drawing the most. I'm really into using coloured paint pens at the moment. I just like the simple look of coloured line.
Time to add some more colour. I'm using Koh-I-Noor watercolours for this, they have a rich ink quality to them.

oh my goodness, the pictures are stunning and your drawings are too! Why yes, I'll have a cup of joe with you! As for croissants... I actually took the time to make some from scratch. They were delicious but looked like alien snot instead of pretty croissants. (I lost patience and rushed it) I may have to write about it! LOL

They the best. You leave it on your coffee cup and the steem from the coffee makes it all warm and soft inside. Sticky toffee slightly melted . Nothing better I am telling you!

That's really neat! It never really occurred to me that plants have variants in other locations.
I live in America - all I've ever seen are white Mississippi magnolia trees. It's so strange seeing another version! It's really cool! ^-^)b

Nice job of capturing the angle of the sunlight in a suble way and working it into the motion of your piece. I enjoyed immersing myself into all the images of this post and has been a great way to start my day.

Beautiful as always. I love the bee on the magnolia. I have rose bush out the front of my shop with seemingly eternal blooms. I love flowers. Too bad my toddlers like to eat them so I have a home devoid of flowers and pot plants at the moment.

I'm not sure how to answer this @bridgetbunchy! Could you swap to edible flowers like pansies?

What a wonderful environment you have to do your art work. You could actually consider submitting the picture with the flower and the bee to the current SteemitPhotoChallenge. You would have my upvote for that one ;-)
