There’s something magical about Washington D.C. in the spring. The Tidal Basin turns into a pastel dream, magnolias burst into bloom, and the city’s classic architecture is even more iconic framed by flowers. I visited during peak bloom and turned my favorite scenes into watercolor paintings to hold onto the beauty long after the petals fell.
Whether you’re a D.C. local, someone dreaming of a spring trip, or just obsessed with floral art, these ten paintings capture the city’s most stunning season.
