Too hot to garden.

I had company over a few days ago. The wife asked if I had any new paintings so we went to the studio and looked thru what was there including the small studies of the begonia bloom I started last Feb.

I also realized I didnt have any paintings of Poppies or white birches.
My urge to stay in the studio and out of the heat has spurred me on to start on a new inventory of both.
Here are some sketches of both. Just ideas for composition.
Start tomorrow.
