Terns on the Neris

 

 
During the time of around early spring of 2011, I painted a small “portrait” of the Neris River and the Terns that are frequent residents. I still have a plan to paint a portrait of the river during the seasons of summer, autumn and winter.
  I always enjoy the views along the Neris River. With every step along her shores, there something different to see. And the subject matter for sketching seems endless. A couple of days ago I spent some time along the Neris and noticed there is still an abundance of small wildflowers around that are still in bloom. So as my wife read a book and our daughter napped under the shade of a tree on the river bank. I took the time to sketch a few of wild flowers and some of the intimate views around.

These are some loosely painted watercolor sketches of some of the wild flowers found along the Neris River.
