Augusta No 13 Azalea

Augusta No 13 Azalea, Ink and watercolour, 4 x 6 inches, ©2018

Annual spring golf vacation this year included a trip to see a practice round at the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.Weather was perfect. Course was fabulous. Manicured perfectly. Azaleas were in full bloom and magnificent. You have to see 1600 azaleas in bloom to believe it. The whole left side of the fairway and behind the green of Hole no 13 was azaleas. It is estimated that more than 80,000 plants of over 350 varieties have been added to the landscape of this golf course.

Back from Holidays

Back from golf holidays. Planned on doing lots of drawing and painting, but the week of golf came and went with only a handful of drawings in my sketchbook. The Azaleas were in full bloom, always planted in amazing masses. Our accommodation had the most spectacular views of the ocean, as we were on the front corner of the building. And finally the golf courses were beautiful and extremely challenging, with my favourites being the courses that overlooked the sea marsh natural areas.
