The wild flowers are blooming along the Texas Highways. The state flower, the blue bonnet is the dominate flower at this time. Occasionally among the bluebonnets you can see the paint brush flowers. They are a beautiful contrast, orange against the blue. I have been watching for the paint brush as it is a favorite of mine but apparently the mowing machines have eliminated a lot of them. Years ago I did sketches of the paint brush and have included one of them here. I broke the sketches down into sections of the flower. I always want to see up close, to hold the flower I am painting.This is just a colored pencil drawing from an old sketch book.
