24 more folk flower mania

I am so inspired by the leaves and flowers making their spring

return. I started to create a rock path, so that I 

could find my way to the studio, now that the creosote 

bushes have grown taller.

Then I went crazy with the flowers. I traced some of the 

flowers I did previously

I created cutting files for my scan n cut and cut them 

using an ombre scrapbook paper cardstock.

Then it I got crazy. I cut a few from some painted papers. 

I took some soft pastels, and white and light cream/yellow 

colored pencils and embellished them, rubbing color on the 

tips with my fingers.

Of course, they have to audition to be in my tag book project.

As the sun began to set, the long shadows in the 

studio made for fun photography.

notes to myself:

It felt like the crescendo of creative energy illuminated,
then settling and as a personal message a positive
life-giving affirmation towards the thing I love to do.

The next day when I came back to more pictures. 

I call this my living ephemeral sketchbook. Photographing it 

almost captures my thought process.

There will be a time when the idea flow may wane so 

that I am able to put some of these things in a form, 

but now I am full on in creative mode.

20 back to the flowers

I was inspired to paint the brown flowers by my watercolor box. 

I was running out of my favorite colors orange and red 

(cool and warm). The brown that came with the set reminds

me of old brown walnut ink with warm undertones.

The black is dark and inky and shiny when undiluted. 

I'll be making these for a while.

15 painting flowers

Remember these? The tea/coffee stained crumbles and ironed papers.

This what happened

Brown watercolor and a drippy old brush. 

It was so much fun to paint these. I

completed page after page.

Continuing on, I cut small pages then watercolored
imaginary prim style flowers.

Tossed flowers

Inspired by flowers could also be the name of this post. Flowers are every where.



Where I live that also means: wind is everywhere.
The tossed prints are created with flower sketches made with My Paint and Gimp.

Green and flowers...= spring.

This drawing was created on open source software called My Paint. I love the brushes the colors and the way it responds to my hand and tablet.

I use Ubuntu on a linux dual boot.
